The Park Bench Social Club are part of a new generation of bands that mix musical genres with abandon (and incredible virtuosity). Celtic fiddle tunes, traditional folk bluegrass, gypsy jazz, bhangra and old time Americana are all standout influences. Their music is characterised by amazing energy and is played with a big smile on their faces.

The band met while attending the world-renowned Newcastle University Folk and Traditional Music degree course based at the Sage Gateshead. Coming from different parts of the world all three guys contribute a wide range of influences to the melting pot that is the Park Bench Social Club. The last 18 months has seen the band playing increasingly prestigious gigs across the UK wowing audiences wherever they play and gaining many new fans and tonight they’re at The Maltings!
