With eight members in the full line-up and instruments including guitar, accordion, banjo, mandolin, fiddle and trumpet, Police Dog Hogan draw their influences from many different wells.

You could call it Americana, country-folk, folk-pop or even urban bluegrass, but it’s difficult to do justice to the sheer range of styles this band is willing to take on and, if necessary, transform.

Their live shows are exuberant,|accomplished, stirring and funny, mixing country-fried heartbreakers, belting anthems and foot-stomping singlaongs.

Police Dog Hogan will be performing at The Acorn Theatre, Penzance on Friday at 8pm. Tickets £12.50 available from www.crbo.co.uk or 01726 879500.
