The Churchfitters is a folk band like no other. A double bass made out of a saucepan. Heart-wrenching vocals accompanied by a musical saw. Foot-stompingly fast fiddle mixed with infectious funk-rock rhythms. And traditional tunes reinvigorated with mesmerising jazz sax.
The three virtuoso musicians from England and France strut their stuff on a stage that bristles with instruments – adding flute, banjo, dulcimer, tin whistle, guitar, ukulele, electric hub-cap bass-bouzouki and a sackful of percussion to their ensemble.
The Folkhouse is a little gem in Bristols crown. Well hidden between two shops halfway up Park Street (on the right hand side if you're going up) it hosts courses and classes by day but by night turns into an excellent venue.
With a penchant for the different and the folky, although by no means small names, noise restrictions mean you're more likely to find acoustic than heavy metal. Despite the presence of the bar, there's almost a school feeling about the theatre but, please don't let that put you off discovering yet another of Bristol's amazing music venues.
