The River Rat Pack Tour
Three barges, eight artists and seven free gigs. Six Nation State, Beans On Toast, Nat Jenkins and four other acts embark hit the river for Oxford charity gigs.
From 30 August to 6 September a number of bands will be travelling on three barges along the Thames, playing gigs at various stops on the way in order to raise money for Oxfam.
Brighton's answer to Bob Dylan, Mr Nat Jenkins, will be along for the ride. A folk-rock driven husky voiced, knee-slappin' country type, Nat has a rather impressive back catalogue of demo's and a number of Kooks support slots under his belt. He's a real breath of fresh air in this synth obsessed generation, plus he's got a cracking voice.
Southampton's Six Nation State and London's gritty voiced, three-foot tall, forty-a-day, fuck the smoking ban, acoustic whit child, Beans On Toast, will also be there to amuse you with his general stance on world issues. Plus loads more bands!
All the gigs are free so there's no excuse not to go really.
