SUMMARY:ALBUM LAUNCH! A very special happening at Shire Hall\, Dorchester
DESCRIPTION:BEHOLD! \nA very special gig to launch the new Skimmity Hitchers “least worst of” album\, celebrating 15 years of delicious Scrumpy & Western wrongness. \nThe gig is happening in the Old Courts at the Shire Hall in Dorchester\, an atmospheric and hugely significant historic Dorset location. It served as Dorset’s courthouse from 1797 until 1955.

It is now a public museum offering a fascinating insight into ideas of justice and injustice. \nThis is a seated event and tickets are strictly limited in number. Early advance booking is highly recommended. \nThis is an 18+ event. \nPlease follow this link for full event\, ticket and accessibility info: \nhttps://skimmityhitchers.bigcartel.com/product/album-launch-dorchester\n\nGonna be a belter\, folks… best get involved!

SUMMARY:Bristol Urban Wassail @ Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Prepare yourself for a night of cider-fuelled\, nearly-traditional music and performance on Friday 16th January as the Bristol Urban Wassail returns to Exchange on Old Market. \nLive music comes from cult Scrumpy & Western band Skimmity Hitchers with support from The Shinkickers (featuring members of legendary Bristol cider-punk outfit The Surfin’ Turnips) and one-man agricultural hip-hop supremo Corky. \nThe night will also feature the traditional “Old Market Wassail” play\, written and performed by members of the audience in true DIY spirit. Expect to encounter home-made costumes\, questionable accents and the gaffa taping of toast to Apple Tree Man. \nTickets are £13 + b/f from hdfst.uk/e137808 \nReal cider will be available on the bar\, to help proceedings flow merrily along. \nThe Wassail is an ancient rural tradition of blessing orchards for a successful incoming harvest\, and many such events happen around the time of Twelfth Night across the West Country. This specifically Bristol event\, however\, has a distinctly urban twist with an emphasis on participation and fun. \nEntry requirements: 14+\, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
