One of the outstanding fiddle players with a revered cv, Fluff is a member of Galleon Blast, and former member of The Incredible String Band and Tower Struck Down.
She's played on a number of recordings, in particular our cult alt/folk trio version of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' that was championed by Joy Division's Peter Hook.
Another oustanding fiddle player, Jamie is a musician whom I first teamed up with at an open mic night in Manchester. We played a number of great shows together including a support with The Lancashire Hotpots, who then took Jamie on as a session musician and occasional live member of the band.
These days he's also a member of acclaimed Staffordshire band The Idioms.
One of my most frequent musical partners, Kevin is an outstanding guitarist, singer and songwriter, whose influences include the likes of Todd Rundgren and Tom Waits.
He performs solo in his own right, and is a regular performer online globally aka 'Lefty Unplugged' via 'Second Life'.
One of my favourite songwriter performers, Roydan mixes influences such as Frank Zappa, Roy Harper, bluegrass festivals and an appearance on legendary TV show Tiswas, delivering an acoustic blitz of entertaining songs and smiles.
