Jamie Parkes
Fiddle and Vocals

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.
