Roots Music Club say: “With a host of rebel-rousing folk songs and instrumentals, the band modernise traditional folk material with their own touch and have since excited audiences with their artillery of loud, boisterous, foot-stomping live sets.”

The band members have a wealth of other musical experience too.

Brothers David and James Delarre have worked with Eliza Carthy and Norma Waterson, Jim Moray and Topette! and provided stand-in support for members of popular folk big band Bellowhead.

Nick Cooke is Barnsley folk star Kate Rusby and False Lights’ melodeon player and is a professional mastering engineer.
