INFORMATION FOR TICKET HOLDERS

And thank you for buying a ticket to come and see the gig on Sunday the 8th at the Albert with Sheelanagig and support. 

Tickets are non- refundable, but you can pass them on to a friend. As long as they have your name, and ticket on their phone for proof.  If you try and sell on FACEBOOK the post may get taken down by as there have been so many fraudsters trying to trick folk. 

You don't have to print your ticket. As long as the name and QR is visible to show Lotte on the door. 

Doors for the evening are officially 7pm although you can come in before that, the courtyard is open but the bar area may be closed briefly during sound check. 

Music starts at 7.30pm. DON"T BE LATE   -

The bar itself will be open throughout the gig and for twenty minutes after.We will sell food  until 8.30pm. 

We sell a great selection of pizza, and burgers. You can come and eat before if you want but this will be in the courtyard and garden as the bands soundcheck and we set up for the gig.

This will be a standing gig. There will be the fixed seating at the side of the stage and at the back of the pub, but this is very limited.

We cannot reserve seats for you unless you contact us with an accessibility request. info@theprincealbertstroud.co.uk

After 7pm only ticket holders are admitted to ensure a dedicated gig space. 

If you haven't been to the Albert before parking can be tricky, head to Butterow West as there are often spaces there on the road, and at Rodborough Community Hall.

We collect for our local Food Bank - the list of items currently required are here, and do ask gig goers to donate an item or two if they are in a position to.

Sheelanagig have been whipping up a storm of foot-stomping, roof-raising, high-energy live folk for nigh on twenty years. With an arsenal of strings, soaring flute, pounding drums and a sprinkle of fairy dust they spin melodies that have set feet flying all across the globe. Their shows are a heady mix of raucous dance medleys and thoughtfully crafted original pieces feverishly brimming with fire, flair and finesse. Floors tremble and windows rattle in their presence; these rapturous minstrels are not to be missed under any circumstance.

Drawing deep from a bountiful well of European folk traditions, from medieval melodies to modern grooves, from baroque to folk-rock, Sheelanagig’s irresistible alchemy makes it impossible to stand still. Their infectious energy and mischievous stagecraft are matched only by their impeccable musicianship—delighting festival crowds and intimate venues alike.

Now, in 2025, they mark twenty years of tuneful trickery with the release of St Congar’s Walking Stick—heralding a new dawn for Sheelanagig. In this thrilling new chapter, the band have embraced folk-rock flavours, break-neck bangers, thoughtful takes on the traditional and a raucous array of original material which blends seamlessly with their time-honoured, inimitable style. Produced by their guitarist Alex Garden (The Drystones, Tarren) this album ventures boldly into new realms whilst remaining faithful to its heritage. One feels the clout of twenty years' experience, bolstered and ignited by the drive of a daring new frontier in UK folk.

"What a joy… a good night out guaranteed." – Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2

"The musicianship is tight and intense." – Songlines

Now with a special solo support from Âellin! The project led by writer, lyricist and multi-instrumentalist Siân Magill. A burgeoning musical force in the UK experimental folk scene, Magill’s songcraft is marked by a spirit of restless exploration and curious wonder. Drawing on literary influences and rich intertextual layers, the project evokes themes of collective memory, dream states, and the unconscious realm.
