Portstock 2019 will also have a huge range of stalls and activities, meaning that there really is something for everyone, with full details to be confirmed closer to the date.

Rusty Shackle recently released their fourth album The Raven, The Thief & The Hangman which is dubbed ‘rock folk’ and follows two years of research of folk music by the five-piece band.

They have gathered stories from throughout the ages, gathering traditional folk words and stories and orchestrating them into a fresh new sound, pushing the boundaries of folk music.

The album has earned praise since its release on March 8, with About Sound saying it ‘dazzles, delights and dares’ and Folk Radio praising the band for pulling off a 'bold but risky' move.

Rusty Shackle will play tracks off this new album, along with some classics, when they rock out on stage at Portstock 2019.
