A HAT-TASTIC musical event is taking place in Bridport as part of the Hat Festival celebrations.

Join Hank Wangford and his Lost Cowboys for another evening of music, laughter and tears when he opens the 2015 Bridport Hat Festival.

He is performing at Bridport Arts Centre on Friday September 4 at 8pm.

Hank’s shows feature superb musicianship, inspiring songs and very funny stories.

With special guest Brad Breath, Hank’s rural touring saddlepal, there will be toetappers and heartbreakers, Glimpses of Gloom and the occasional rope trick.

Martin Belmont will give the best rock/country guitar ever, BJ Cole will go stratospheric on the pedal steel, Kevin Foster and Roy Dodds will drive the band forwards and Anna Robinson will delight with celestial harmonies.

And many hats will be worn.
