THE DEPARTMENT FOR THE CORRECTION OF SILLY MISTAKES would like to apologise for the error in the opening post.

The "renowned fiddler" who partnered Bing Lyle was not, in fact, himself - rather it was Ben Paley.

The mistake has been fully investigated by the department and they are now able to report that the reason for the error is that person who wrote the opening post is a complete idiot.

DIANE & STEVE NEVILL

Click here to see a photo of them.

Folk brought us together – back in the 70's - when everyone seemed to play guitar and sing. Back then though, we would never have thought of performing in folk clubs, they were for the 'professionals'. (Nowadays, in our experience, they are much more inclusive.)
Steve – a 'natural' musician – then found an affinity with Anglo concertina and melodeon. He played for several Morris sides over two decades, starting with Mad Jacks Morris (including the time when the Hastings Jack in the Green was revived). He also played hammered dulcimer and sang occasionally.
Steve first became a resident at Seaford in 2000. Diane was eventually persuaded out of her comfort zone (audience) in 2003 when she began to sing 'out front'. She was included as a resident in 2005.
