GREEN DIESEL
GREEN DIESEL – THE GEORGE HOTEL – SATURDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER – 4.00 PM
Hailing from Faversham in Kent, folkrock band Green Diesel first emerged in 2009 and take their inspiration from the depths of English folk lore and legend and the classic folk-rock sound of their predecessors Fairport Convention and The Albion Band. Blending violin, mandolin, dulcimer and accordion with electric guitars and drums, Green Diesel’s sound is born from a love of traditional English music and a desire to bring it to a modern audience.
The band’s albums have won praise from critics and fans alike for the quality of songwriting and musicianship while the band have appeared at the likes of Beverley Folk Festival, Charmouth Folk Festival, Broadstairs Folk Week and the Kelburn Garden Party. They have shared stages with the likes of Gilmore & Roberts, Spiers & Boden and Fotheringay.
The band’s latest album, ‘After Comes The Dark’, is the first to feature new drummer Paul Dadswell. This record features a major development of the band’s sound with progressive and psychedelic elements coming to the forefront, alongside the band’s signature take on folk song and folklore. Folk in technicolour, echoing 1867, 1967 and 2067.
