Goldrush

Film-maker Jeremy Fowlers captured the remarkable success-in-adversity story of Truck festival in the July floods.. After the village of Steventon was dramatically flooded the day before the festival, the Truckers, led by the redoubtable Toby & Genevieve, rallied to hold a remarkable, short-notice, emergency indoor event at Oxford Brookes SU.

Truck Festival, Loose Music and Health & Happiness present..

Garth Hudson of The Band and The Last Waltz featuring Maud Hudson backed by Goldrush with Danny and Julian Wilson of Grand Drive.
Garth brings his friends and his own music full of surprises! For a special evening with The Band songs and Garth’s 70th birthday celebrations.

no, we’re not playing, put our favourite album track Can’t Give Up The Ghost is the soundtrack to a 10-minute short by award-winning director Amy Berg about eskimos and the effects of global heating. Say hello to Sir Bob for us..

we’ve also just made a video for this song with Campbell Graham. Check out his work at the Document Films website.

Yes, it does have dancing girls…

starting gently with a covers gig at a pub in Barton St David’s, Somerset on the 29th June, followed by “Wild West Country” at Pilton Village Hall near Barnstaple, Devon on 30th June.

After that things get more adventurous as we head to the Green Valley festival in Austria on the 6th and Truck’s new offshoot, 2000 Trees Festival near Cheltenham on the 13th July. We promise to make it to these ones… never stop believing.

Goldrush are currently considering their position and not able to perform the scheduled European tour. It is clear we are not able to continue in the way we have been and we are trying to work out how we can carry on as a band without continually damaging our physical and mental health. We apologise to everyone who has put in work and time on our behalf as we know what it is to put on shows and how difficult the current climate is, and hope that we may be able to reschedule these dates at some point in the future.

Love
Goldrush

We’re very pleased to announce further European dates for May 2007, including our first time in Scandinavia. See the live page for further details. Plus the tour diary from the last european tour is now finished finally! Watch out for the diary of the recent US trip, coming up shortly..

We’ll be making no fewer than 6 (Six!) appearances this coming week at the annual SxSW hoe-down in Austin, Texas. You can find details about them all, plus our California and New York dates, on the live page.

We’ll also be appearing 4 times as backing band for the wonderful Piney Gir, standing in at short notice for her marvellous Country Roadshow band, who were denied entry based on their mischievous behaviour last year..

Goldrush will be playing acoustically and signing copies of their album in a couple of record stores in the next week. They will be at Fopp Oxford (Gloucester Green) on Thursday 8th March at 5pm and in the Fopp in Reading on Sunday 11th March at 3pm.
