Andrew Ranken & Mysterious Wheels

Andrew is the Pogues' drummer, but with the mighty Mysterious Wheels he brings his masterful blues voice to the fore. Old time R'n'B / Country / Rock 'n' Roll to knock your socks off.

Andrew Ranken is a British drummer, best known as the percussionist for the British-Irish band The Pogues. He joined the band in 1983 and appeared on all of their recordings and tours until their breakup in 1996. He has also performed with The Pogues since their reunion in 2001.

After The Pogues split up Andrew became a member of Municipal Waterboard and hKippers. The hKippers are a septet led by singer and guitarist Paul Bradley, who is an actor, probably most well-known for his role in the TV-series EastEnders. Mysterious Wheels (so named by his young son!) is different - this time Andrew leads the band on vocals, augmented by lifelong friends Tom Anthony, Joe and Simon Korner, and Paul Seacroft.

High Barn is spectacular Grade II* listed medieval venue based in Great Bardfield. The incredible character and acoustics of the building have been preserved by an outer shell leaving the timbers exposed internally, this has created a truly beautiful space with a unique ambience.

There is an oak stage and dance floor with full theatre sound & lights, an oak and glass entrance lobby and an elm faced store and toilet area with a gallery above.

High Barn houses all modern facilities, including an excellent bar and for those colder winter days there is underfloor heating.

High Barn is 20 minutes from Stansted, London Airport and easy distance from M11 and M25 motorways.
