"Drumming on the walls of the Newtown Social and gathering everyone up into an insanely high-energy folk dance party, this one is not to be missed next time"

More Pierce Brothers More Pierce Brothers

Pierce Brothers took off like a rocket right from the start of their sold out show. Midway through their Winter Is Coming tour (a reference that all you Game Of Thrones fans will appreciate), the brother duo were piping hot from the start of their set to the end, with tunes like Golden Times filled with didgeridoo.

Famous for their fast-paced romps and improvisation, the brothers reworked some of their more well-known songs like Roll Away Your Stone. Showing off some new material inspired by John Butler Trio’s Ocean, the pair played a new tune called My Self Portrait, and Patrick rocked out on a solo.

The whole show was brimming with audience participation and the banter these legends have come to be known by. They came down and danced in the audience mid-song, drumming on the walls of the Newtown Social and gathering everyone up into an insanely high-energy folk dance party. This one is not to be missed next time they’re in town!
