Bickerton is a small village nestled at the foot of the Bickerton and Peckforton Hills in Cheshire.

 

 

Located on Long Lane, just off the A534 between Broxton and Bulkeley, the Village Hall is an integral part of the local community and plays host to many local activities and groups.

Recently renovated and superbly equipped the Village Hall makes an ideal venue for clubs and associations and private parties and has a range of rooms and facilities available to hire.

With a large car park the hall is a regular weekend destination for caravan clubs and touring associations.

4) Music - Western Swing and Old Time Country Music Show

We are pleased to present our next production with sponsorship by Cheshire Rural Touring Arts

Rip Roaring Success Western Swing and Old Time Country Music Show Sat 30th June - Bickerton Village Hall The Rip-Roaring Success are a 3 piece band playing western swing style country music. Due to a cruel twist of fate they live not in Texas USA, but on a council estate in Widnes. Despite this, they are having a lovely time as they take their hot swing music to the people. Come and enjoy an evening of lively, energetic string music delivered with style and charm by this charismatic trio. Combining slap style double bass, swing fiddle, rhythmic guitar and sweet harmonies, their skilled performance will make you think you're in an authentic Texas dance hall. Foot tapping is mandatory. Dancing, whooping and hollering is optional... but highly likely. “The Rip Roaring Success managed to keep the audience very much on their toes with a great set of country influenced swing. They have really captured very accurately the feel of The Hot Club of France and mixed it with Hank Williams and Louis Jordan to produce a fabulous end product that will enhance any festival both musically and visually” Pete Evans – Bangor on Dee Blues Festival 2011 Suitability: All (8+)
