Skinny Lister

Skinny Lister at The Stade

Stade Saturdays take place at Stade Open Space, Rock-a-Nore Road in Hastings – and are FREE for everyone to come along and enjoy! This Saturday (30 September) Skinny Lister will be playing: rapidly becoming the nation’s foremost folk rock band, it’s only natural that they are heading up Hastings and Rother’s Music Month. Michael Hambridge, Arts and Cultural Development Officer for Hastings Borough Council, writes.

Skinny Lister have built on a strong instrumental foundation and a collection of well-wrought high paced original tunes to deliver a series of legendary high octane performances.

“Heptinstall may well be the lead singer, but every member performs with the same anarchic intensity, collectively commanding the audience.” The Independent

“Skinny Lister sound as if they’ve been swinging from the galleons singing holler ’em shanties about rebellion while three sheets to the wind for centuries. But this sextet are young, from south London, and have honed their bold-as-brass sound by getting innumerable festival tents jigging over the past few years. Often folk-punk bands struggle to capture that vaudevillian spirit on record, but Skinny Lister’s second album packs enough punch to steamroll a saloon brawl.” The Guardian.
