Luton band to join Birmingham Irish group for 30th anniversary gig
Luton band Missing The Ferry will join Birmingham Irish group The Father Teds for a gig at The Hat Factory Arts Centre for a 30-year anniversary celebration on stage.
The gig will take place on Saturday, November 21, bringing together the two bands for an evening of traditional and contemporary Celtic music.
The Father Teds, a five-piece group, have performed across the UK and Europe over the past three decades, building a reputation for their energetic live performances and Irish folk music.
And as they celebrate 30 years in the business, they will share the stage with Missing The Ferry, a Luton band with a dedicated following whose music reflects their second-generation Irish heritage.
Missing the Ferry released Luton You’re a Lady earlier this year, a song celebrating the town’s culture and community.
Frontman Paul Anderson said: “We are absolutely buzzing for this one. Having a legendary band like The Father Teds come down to celebrate their 30th anniversary at The Hat Factory is massive for Luton.
“For us, Irish music isn't just about the tunes; it’s about community, storytelling, and celebrating our shared second-generation Irish identity.”
The gig will take place at The Hat Factory Arts Centre in Luton, with tickets available through the Culture Trust website.
