Meet The Musicians
They perform beautiful ballads intermingled with jigs, reels and polkas. Upbeat pub songs and modern pop songs from the UK, mixing old with new and all performed by seasoned players on exquisite folk instruments. Comfortable performing in a variety of venues—from intimate house concerts, pubs and wine bars, to festivals and outdoor winery settings—they love to tell universally human stories through music.
“Awesome group of performers, who guarantee a good time with superb vocal and instrumental talent across the board. Each show is a little different, each member brings something a little different, and I am always blown away by their performances.”
“Erica Hockett has a voice of breathtaking beauty that brings to mind the likes of Sandy Denny (Fairport Convention) and Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries). Accompanied by a fine ensemble of multi-instrumentalists, they share a repertoire from England, Scotland and Ireland, including narrative ballads of love, lust, murder and more!”
“My experience: one of the very best musical evenings in a long lifetime of concert-going.”
