MERRY HELL + Virginia Kettle http://www.merryhell.co.uk/

At: Grayshott Village Hall, Headley Road, Grayshott, Nr. HINDHEAD, Surrey GU26 6TZ

“Joyful Folk Rock with a message of hope for troubled times”

No self-respecting Folk Festival is complete without everyone’s Festival Folk/Rock favourites Merry Hell in the line up. Their brand of anthemic, uplifting and joyous Folk/Rock is infectious and carries a message of hope for us all. We will be re-creating the Festival vibe at Grayshott Village Hall and we hope you won’t be able to resist Merry Hell’s invitation to join in. You can be sure of a “reet good night out”.

Merry Hell have recently released a 28 track, double CD, called “Let The Music Speak For Itself” which is a retrospective look at the band’s achievements so far. The tracks were chosen by their fans and the album is already receiving 5***** reviews:

Right… Through twelve great years, six albums and hundreds of gigs, Merry Hell have shared their music, joy and hope with as many people as possible. This double CD is an attempt to distil all the above into a flavour of the band; who we are and what we do. For that reason, there could only be one title: “Let The Music Speak for Itself”. This collection does not represent the beginning of the end; it represents the end of the beginning…
