Live Music - The Old Time Waster & L. Don Okami

Don returns to the UK for the first time since Covid and Brexit, and returns to waterintobeer. He'll be joined this time by The Old Time Waster, aka fiddler, banjo player and composer Steve Blake. Get ready for some heavy-duty fiddle and banjo, but not always like you expect it.

The Old Time Waster (aka Steve Blake) plays American Old Time fiddle and banjo primarily for dance bands CUT A SHINE and THE OLD TIME CONTRA BAND. He is Musical Director/Composer with choreographer Lea Anderson (CHOLMONEDELEYS & FEATHERSTONEHAUGHS). He is also a dance accompanist at Trinity Laban Conservatoire Of Music & Dance.

L. Don Ōkami is the nom de banjo of Tampere transplant Don Lupo from South Carolina via Switzerland, Germany, Japan and Ireland. Don has been playing American for over 50 years and clawhammer banjo for over 35. After many years focusing on traditional music from the southern US, he has started exploring the space between traditional folk music, drones, noise and banjo with the aid of loopers, effects and collaborators, and his first solo album “Judgement Day in Pyynikki” was released on Hulina Records in 2018. His second album “Banjo Machine Music” is expected to come out this year. His performances are musical journeys weaving between hard-core traditional Appalachian folk, own songs in a similar style, and trance-inducing banjo instrumentals supplemented by loops and effects. (This is, however, a fully acoustic show, so the sounds will be a little folkier than usual.) Don has played to enthusiastic audiences in Finland, Sweden, UK, Germany and Austria. In addition to his solo work, he played “post-folk” for 7 years with The Fractal Cauliflowers, and now plays punk-Americana and doombilly with Dark Bottle.

Scatterlings Tasting & Meet the Brewer

Join us for an evening with Scatterlings, we'll taste up to five saisons (including an as yet to be released beer) and have an in depth discuission on the brewing process - homebrewers and non homebrewers welcome!

Brewery Info:
Scatterlings is a brewery focused on making easy drinking saisons.
Located in Virginia Water, Surrey on a working farm, we're taking our time to make balanced, purposeful beers.
Using mostly British ingredients and some old world techniques, we hope to offer something approachable but different.
All beers start their life in an open fermenter with a mixed culture of wild and domesticated yeast as well as lactic acid creating bacteria. The hoppy wort undergoes many different fermentations and starts to mature after at least 12 months in French Oak barrels where the bitterness starts to ease and a little bit of acid begins to creep in giving our beers their signature tartness.
After barrels have been tasted and a blend is formed, beer is transferred from barrels to a blending tank where they usually receive a very small dry hop to elevate their aroma. The tank gets a dose of cane sugar and fresh mixed culture to start the final fermentation in green 750ml bottles and kegs and once packaged, they rest for 3 to 6 months until they are ready to share with you. It's definitely a labour of love with a style we are very passionate about.

Tickets are £10, which you can buy here.
