Faraway Tree are joined by their good friends The Wabash Cannonballs on stage at the Ranelagh Arms, Brighton, for some 'TreeBalls' action on 22 June 2008.
Faraway Tree are a fiery young four-piece blues band. Since forming in Salisbury (Wiltshire, UK) in 1993, they have spread their infectious, foot-stomping blues the length and breadth of the UK, and even Chicago, Illinois. The Blues of Faraway Tree is a state of mind: seldom sad, a jubilant force for good against life's worries and woes!
time of my life fellas. thanks for the hospitality, hospital and the hang overs. hope to see you soon. chicago is missing a blues band. can't wait to do it again
