Hillbilly Wonders.... by TVG

The Doggone Honkabillies saw Hemsby 53 as their third time around at this famous rock and roll weekender this October. But perhaps more notible is the young lad in the picture above (right) standing next to our front man, Frankie Riedell. This young lad has only just turned 18 and has now completed his fourth performance with the band at Hemsby. It was a delight to see this very young yet very talented young guitarist on stage who was very confident and calm infront of the roaring Hemsby crowd. The set was a mix of country and rockabilly. The band are toruing in 2015 and have a new album out by the end of this year. We wish this much success in their forthcoming ventures and hope to see them again on the weekender circuit very soon..!

Also featuring at the line up at the weekend were River Rhythm Trio from London and old favourites, The Hayriders who have enjoyed a lot of vintage festivals around the UK this year already. An excellent and highly entertaining quartet of rockabilly and traditional rocknroll.
