About

The Pointy Heads are a dapper four-piece from Perth, Western Australia, playing energetic Americana, old-time, Irish and Australian folk music.
Drawing inspiration from Tom Waits, C.W. Stoneking and Bruce Springsteen, the band combines acoustic guitar, banjo, fiddle, double bass and cajon with four voices and a lively, room-filling sound.
Their repertoire moves between original songs, traditional tunes and familiar crowd favourites, making them equally at home in pubs, festivals, weddings and special events. The Pointy Heads are regular performers at the Woodbridge Hotel in Guildford, where their spirited live show brings old-time character and good fun to every welcoming room.
