The Redlands Palomino Company

Redlands1.jpg

Over the years, The Redlands Palomino Company have gained many devoted fans across the UK and beyond – thanks in part to their often-riotous live shows and enthusiastic support and radio play from BBC Radio 2’s Whisperin’ Bob Harris amongst others.

"The Redlands Palomino Co. shuffle exquisitely between Cowboy Junkies' folk twang, the Jayhawks' stage stomped jangle with equal measures of Gram Parsons' soulful country heart and Jon Longford's irreverent punk/country" - Amplifier Magazine

"Illustrious purveyors of beautifully crafted country rock" - Rock n Reel

plus the world premiere of the presteigne pop choir

Presteigne Pop Choir was formed by locally based composer John Hymas in January 2017. The choir exclusively sings John's arrangements of pop (and  rock) classics. Expect anything from songs by Neil Young or Radiohead to One Direction or Take That.

Anyone interested in joining should contact John through this website.
