The Continental: Wino and Conny Ochs

Continuing its series of doom-related shows, The Continental is really pleased to be hosting one of the acknowledged kings of the genre, Scott 'Wino' Weinrich, in an acoustic setting.

Wino is touring with the German singer-writer Conny Ochs, promoting their new collaborative album 'Heavy Kingdom'. Wino and Conny Ochs will both be performing solo acoustic sets and then doing some numbers from the album together.

The Continental is also tremendously excited to be presenting the first Northern show from Mary Epworth and the Jubilee Band, influenced by traditional English song, 60s west coast Psychedelia, and Greek Progressive Rock, and whose 'Black Doe' single has been playlisted on BBC 6 Music.

The show takes place on Tuesday March 20th at 8pm.

Tickets are £6 advance (£8 on the door) and are available from The Continental’s Bar (01772 499 425), Preston Visitor Information (at the Guild Hall, 01772 253 731), Action Records (01772 884 772) and online from wegottickets and seetickets
