And as Nashville residents, Emma Swift and I are now both qualified to play Maverick; it’s twangy, and, amazingly – it’s British. Plus it features goats, a vintage bus, and proper toilets: yaysville!’ ROBYN HITCHCOCK Tickets are available from www.ticketweb.co.uk // www.maverickfestival.co.uk The Maverick Festival showcases the best in Americana / Roots music, from both sides of theAtlantic, across five stages, situated in the beautiful Suffolk countryside.
