Bedford Celts

About

BC was born in Bedford Square, Brighton, 2018 when one evening Barry (banjo/vocals) bumped into Phil (guitar/vocals) as the latter was returning from a gig. Noticing the guitar on his back, Barry asked Phil about the music he played, and talk soon turned to the music of Dick Gaughan, Pogues, Planxty, etc. A jam duly ensued and a few months later, BC played their 1st gig at The Bee’s Mouth. Since then they’ve gone from strength to strength, playing Lagoon Fest, Folklore Rooms, The Welly, Shoreham and other venues round Brighton and Sussex. The lineup has also expanded. Bedford Celts co-host Mucky Pluckers trad/americana session at Mucky Duck along with Chicken Shed Zeppelin every Tuesday.
