Feedback and References

âSome folk have style, some massive enthusiasm, some are skilled and others have a common touch that endears the artist to their audience. I heard and saw all of those things during your performance.â
Bob Lines (Festival Director â St. Valentines Folk Festival)

âWith their foot tapping songs and mixture of traditional and contemporary ballads and instrumental music they are not to be missed â catch them if you can.â
Geoff Pickles (Festival Director â Cleckheaton Folk Festival)

âYou Guys definitely know how to organise an even. To be honest I arrived with some reservations as to whether our âdaftâ style and your polished traditional approach would work on the same bill (never the twain shall meet?) I neednât have worried I thought the whole thing blended perfectly and the feedback that I got from the audience was the âvariety is the spice of lifeâ and that they had all thoroughly enjoyed the evening.â
Graham Dixon (Trouble at the Mill)
