"We want to bring folk music to life - to rescue Folk and Traditional music from its staid musty image. We want to take it out of its little box and share it with as wide an audience as possible - reaching people who would never consider going to a folk club while still appealing to dedicated folk fans with open minds.

We are passionate about it - our motivation is to see you out there in the audience really enjoying yourselves at our gigs - singing, clapping and dancing."

I believe you could literally count their appearances in Folk Clubs on one hand but in the last year they have performed in the region of 150 full gigs from Leeds to Taunton to Broadstairs including appearaces at venues that are mainly Rock orientated - latest example Saturday 29 November

OK they have to mix in the popular standards but they still include both the obscure and their own material. This comment from a member of the audience in Somerset is not unusual - "You have just converted someone who hates folk music - as soon as Mike Harding comes on I turn off - I should have been home an hour and a half ago"

There is a selection of their material on YouTube
