AN EVENING of music will open the Bridport Hat Festival tomorrow (4) night.

Expect laughter and tears as Hank Wangford and his Lost Cowboys take to the stage at Bridport Arts Centre 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 take charge of his rock and country guitar, 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.

For more information, please call 01308 424204.
