Full line up for Off The Tracks

Moulettes and ZZ Birmingham will complete the main stage line-up for Off The Tracks Spring Festival, which takes place from May 25-27 at Park Farmhouse, Isley Walton, Derbyshire. Moulettes blend prog-rock, folk, gypsy, classical and swing in a unique style performed with a mixture of acoustic and electric instruments including cello, bassoon, violin, guitar, bass, auto-harp, drums and group vocals. Their songs often explore dramatic narratives and surreal characters that owe as much to literature, fantasy fiction and fairytales as they do to folk, classical, rock and pop.

They join the line-up for Saturday at Off The Tracks, when the bill is headlined by space rock legends Hawkwind and Simon Friend’s Seismic Survey, the Levellers guitarist’s acoustic side project.

Bringing his blues to the people in a career spanning three decades, ZZ Birmingham’s charismatic stage presence, dynamic musical skills and fund of blues lore continue to enthral blues fans nationwide.

ZZ Birmingham will grace the main stage on Friday, May 25, on a bill topped by former Dr Feelgood and Blockheads guitarist Wilko Johnson. The Sunday line-up is headlined by Dub Pistols and Warsaw Village Band.

Off The Tracks offers more than 40 artists on two stages, as well as 70+ real ales, ciders and perries, excellent camping facilities and a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. Food on offer includes venison reared in the venue’s own historic deer park.
