HANK Wangford and The Lost Cowboys will be appearing in Ipswich on Friday, it has been announced today.

The group will perform at The Manor Ballroom.

A spokesman for promoters Peppery Productions said: “The show is perfectly timed to beat those post-Christmas, New Year and recession blues.

“The last time the band played at this venue they totally raised the roof. Hank has picked at the miserable underbelly of country music for twenty years, inspiring others like Billy Bragg, and many other alternative country musicians.”

The show coincides with the release of the group's latest album entitled Whistling In The Dark.

The spokesman added: “The show is as fine an evening of entertainment as you could hope for - it's going to be another brilliant night of live music.”

Tickets from New Wolsey Theatre Box Office on 01473 295900.
