Nightberg

Using a shared mic, Nightberg deliver old-time/bluegrass and folk standards, together with a mixture of original songs, underpinned by superb playing.

Dana Immanuel and Duncan Menzies were initially brought together by their shared love of acoustic instruments. Dana's natural state is assaulting festival crowds with a five-string banjo in her role as frontwoman of sleazy Americana ladyband Dana Immanuel & the Stolen Band. Duncan meanwhile spent years mastering the dark arts of fiddle, bouzouki, mandolin and tenor banjo, moonlighting with countless bands along the way including Copper Viper and Club Débris, all the while completing a PhD in bagpipes. United in their commitment to making as dirty a sound as possible, it wasn't long before they started to take things too far, as evidenced by their roles in Banjöverkill and Mandölinsanity.

Locked down together in Camden Town for much of 2020 they developed a sound influenced as much by Duncan's Scottish folk heritage as by Dana's love of bourbon-soaked old-timey Americana, not to mention a mutual appreciation of Led Zeppelin. The fusion of Dana's wild, filthy frailing, layered up with Duncan's virtuoso fiddling and old time picking creates a unique country confection. Their live show is not to be missed!
