About Warthog Promotions - Warthog Promotions was established in 2005 for the purpose of promoting live music in Lowdham. It is run by Mike & Jacky Hoare and Peter Hunt, all residents in the village. The three of us love the excitement of live music and have become increasingly aware of the huge amount of talent that is 'out there'. We are keen to give the residents of Lowdham, surrounding villages and further afield the opportunity to enjoy quality performances at reasonable prices, without the need to visit big cities and large venues.
We are delighted to report that in August 2006 we were awarded a grant from the Arts Council, to support our events for the next three years. We gratefully acknowledge this support.
We feel that music should and does appeal to all ages, which is why we always offer concessionary ticket prices to those aged under 18 or over 60. |

Tickets are selling well for our Book Festival concerts. The Book Festival programme is due to be sent out towards the end of May. As this is sent to thousands of addresses, its publication will inevitably result in a surge in ticket sales, so don’t leave it too late to get tickets for these concerts. |

On 7th April, Becky Mills from ‘Waking the Witch’ gave birth to a baby boy, Louie Gabriel. It was a very difficult and traumatic delivery which saw both mother and son very poorly indeed, but both are thankfully now fighting fit and well. Waking the Witch gave their final performance on April 26th and we wish them all well in the future. |

29th March 2008
Cadillac Kings
We were looking for a lively, party atmosphere to round off our season and that’s just what we got. Although reticent during the first half, the jivers came to the floor after the interval and by the conclusion of the evening more than twenty couples were dancing away happily.
Lead vocalist Mike Thomas ensured everything moved along apace and he was surrounded on all sides by some terrific instrumentalists. Gary Potts excelled on harmonica – he has been described as ‘one of the best harmonica players on the planet’ - whilst also taking some of the vocals whilst Mal Barclay was a revelation on guitar. Original keyboards player Gary Howard had been drafted back into the line-up and nobody would have guessed that he had only been introduced to two of the other band members earlier in the afternoon! (It’s best we don’t say why the usual keyboardist wasn’t available!). Completing the band in the ‘back line’ were T.C. Copp on a rather grand double bass and Roy Webber on drums.
