The Coal Miners

Get ready to groove to the infectious beats of a sensational 7-piece band as they bring the vibrant spirit of "Swamp Soul" to life! - This incredible group is all about channeling the rhythm and soul of New Orleans, delivering an electrifying blend of music that spans from Professor Longhair to Allen Toussaint, from Mardi Gras parade anthems to Fats Domino's Rock & Roll classics, and even diving into the swampy funk of The Meters and Dr. John.
Their name pays homage to the Toussaint/Dorsey song 'Working In A Coalmine,' and their dedication to this unique sound is unparalleled. As Craig Charles from BBC Radio 2 Funk and Soul Show attests, "From time to time I stumble on a band that totally blows me away… The sound they have put down is perfect."
Join us for a musical experience like no other with an ensemble that includes the incredibly talented Tommy Hare on lead vocals, the captivating Amy Bird on lead vocals, the soulful Arthur Lea on piano, the dynamic Rob Updegraff on guitar, the rhythmic Spencer Brown on bass, the groovy Pat Levett on drums, and a brass section featuring Trumpet players John Bauer and Nick Etwell, along with Tenor saxophonist Jim Hunt and Trombonist Trevor Mires.
Get ready to be swept away by their soulful tunes and infectious energy. Don't miss the chance to groove to the rhythm of "Swamp Soul" with this exceptional lineup!
