Who are we  ?

Stephen Barby.

Bass player supremo, Steve joined the group in 2004 and made an enormous impact on the overall sound and style of our music. Steve is a relative newcomer to folk having played for many years in Indie style bands, he adds depth, power and originality to our performances.

Adrian Berry

Guitar and mandolin player (and sound engineer/cable winder) uses a variety of guitars and styles to provide the principal rhythm section and occasional variety to the melody. The dual voice Godin Solidac electric guitar and Matamp stack are used sparingly so traditionalists need not worry too much. Also the band’s second line vocalist

Paula Berry

Without doubt the foundation on which the band's sound is built. A classically trained violinist who adapts readily to all styles of music, she drives the melody with power, feeling and unfailing accuracy.

Quentin Duckering

The latest addition to the band, Quentin is a kit drummer and accomplished French horn player whose musical skills have added enormously to the sound, and he may yet keep the rest of us in time!

Katherine Greenwell

The true folkie of the group plays a mean banjo and sings both gentle ballad and raunchy dance songs. Her experience as a folk performer and devotee helps keep the balance of our performance authentic.

Anne Swain

With a variety of high and low whistles Anne provides melody and harmony as well as supplementing the rhythm with 6 string guitar when Adrian is AWOL on guitar. She is also occasional caller and prime music organiser.

Peter Ward

The percussionist (and business manager) of the group provides subtle use of the Bodhran with living proof that the Djembe needs no amplification in any sensibly sized venue.
