Bennett & Wilson plus Dropkick<br />

Hailing from the east coast of<br />

Scotland, Dropkick have<br />

drawn on influences such as Wilco,<br />

Teenage Fanclub and<br />

Tom Petty to produce their own blend<br />

of harmony-driven,<br />

power-pop for well over a decade.<br />

Danny George Wilson and Robin<br />

Bennett have been writing and<br />

performing together on-and-off for<br />

more years than either would care to<br />

admit. From playing on the same<br />

circuit in their respective bands Grand<br />

Drive and Goldrush to Robin and his<br />

brother Joe being early “Champions<br />

of the World” to their recent<br />

acclaimed albums with twelve-string<br />

Rickenbacker and production<br />

maestro Tony Poole under the<br />

monicker “Bennett Wilson Poole”.<br />

The Wireless Revolution is the band’s<br />

most immediate and concise set of<br />

recorded songs, showcasing their love<br />

of chiming, jangly guitars and tight,<br />

layered vocal harmonies.<br />

Bennett Wilson & Poole's 2018 festival<br />

show was one of our favourites. We<br />

are glad to have at least two thirds of<br />

them back playing this year. We will<br />

however miss the sweet sound of Tony<br />

Poole.<br />

Room 2- 7.30pm start
