Old Mercia are a 5 piece band based in Tunbridge Wells. They play a nice blend of indie folk music with a grungey overtone. Think Neil Young meets The Lumineers and Fleet Foxes with some Mumford and Sons thrown in. Their story involves a huge amount of coincidence. These old school friends, who grew up and played music together, lost touch and moved away from their hometown of Lichfield to start their lives, but 15 years later they discovered that they were all living close to each other in and around Tunbridge Wells.
