Winter Weekend '08
Preslav Literary School will be playing at next year's Winter Weekend. Expect War of the Worlds, tribal voices, toy keyboards and country guitar licks.
***
Now entering its 4th year, the Winter Weekend at The Cumberland Arms has always been a real signpost towards the musical direction that the new year will take. Unveiling new collaborations, debuting fresh material and launching the careers of local and national artists has always been the speciality of this action-packed weekend, and Winter Weekend 08 is no different.
As always, the Saturday pays homage to the folk, roots and blues music so engrained within the pub’s unique musical heritage, with a hand-picked blend of regional names.
Sunday moves towards an eclectic line-up of innovative and engaging acts including Guessmen, Semi-Squared, Laish, Mushi Mushi and more to be confirmed.
