Skiddle: The UK's biggest guide to festivals

There's so many amazing festivals out there but it can be difficult to work out which festivals you're going to attend. There's so many things to take into consideration - the location of the festival, the size of the festival, the genre of music, whether it's family friendly and the type of facilities onsite.

Skiddle's new Festivals Finder is here to make the process that bit easier. Simply use the Festivals Finder's unique festival search, which include options allowing you to search for festivals based on filters such as location; month; genres; type; size; accommodation; amenities and even the artists you've liked on Facebook!

The Hot Seats, originally Special Ed and The Shortbus, are a Richmond, VA bluegrass/old-time band - formed 2002 by students at Virginia Commonwealth University.

The original lineup that appeared on the group's first two albums in 2004 consisted of Ed Brogan, guitar; Ben Belcher, banjo; Jake Sellers, percussion; Josh Bearman, mandolin; Aaron Jonah Lewis, fiddle; Bryan Walthall, tenor banjo; Daniel Plotnick, guitar and F.M. Turner, bass.

By 2007, Walthall, Plotnick, and Turner had left the band, leaving a 5-piece. Bass duties were taken up by both Bearman and Belcher. Additionally, Bearman had taken up both the clawhammer and tenor banjo. The group's repertoire had widened dramatically by this point, incorporating tunes from traditions such as klezmer, ragtime, and swing.

In 2008, the band changed their name to "The Hot Seats."

In 2009, Lewis left and was replaced by Graham DeZarn. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
