Here's some more details about the lads!

Tom Napper....

Vocal, tenor banjo, mandolin, octave mandolin, tenor guitar

is one of the most highly respected traditional musicians in the North of England, ("the bee's knees") and a lovely singer. He's performed and recorded over the past 25 years with Tom McConville, Gordon Tyrrall, Jez Lowe, Alistair Russell, Tony Wilson, Rob van Sante, Gina le Faux and now Ciaran Boyle and Dave Kosky in The Idle Road

Tom Bliss....

Vocal, guitar, mandocello, tenor fiddle, whistle, duet concertina, etc. formerly with Slide (uk), and now also working solo, Tom has been called "a master craftsman, with songs that sound as though they are rooted in the tradition, yet have a freshness that marks them out as original" (Tykes News), with a voice with "that special quality of sweetness and intensity that is the prerogative of just the best interpreters of the British folk scene." (Radio Voce Spazio, Italy).

Believe me they are unmissable!

Tom Bliss writes some of the most impressive & moving songs in the 'folk' canon & Tom Napper is a superb instrumentalist.

Sadly a last chance (for the moment hopefully) to see them perform together

Do come along. We promise you'll only get banjoed in the musical sense. :-)
