| MEET THE BAND |
| Nick Bass/Lead Vocals |
| Geoff started out in his musical career in his teens playing ragtime guitar around the folk clubs of the Midlands. During this period he was introduced to the music of legendary folk rockers Fairport Convention, a band he later went on to support, again as a solo guitarist. After moving to Tyneside Geoff formed and regularly gigged with Geordie band Hoggshead. Family circumstances forced a move back to the Midlands where he formed The Craic an Irish band with whom he still occasionally performs. Geoff's chosen guitars are a Line 6 Variax recommended by Fairporter Maartin Allcock and a beautiful Sigma Martin D35 donated by long time friend and amazing bluegrass guitarist Nick Wroughton. His effects pedal is a Line Pod XT live. Geoff lives in Burton on Trent with wife Rita and several small animals. |
| No stranger to lovers of the genre, Nick has performed at countless major festivals fronting the now defunct Dewberry Firkin. A truly inspiring bassist and a generally superb musician, Nick names Dave Pegg (Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull) as a major influence. |
| Mike was press-ganged into joining the band back in 2003 after accepting the King's shilling and copious amounts of Famous Grouse. Promises of fame, fortunes and his very own groupie meant nothing to him. Formerly a member of "Acorn", Mike names the legendary John Heissman among his main influences. Drums by Pearl and Yamaha. Mike lives in Leicestershire with his wife Judith. |
| Hailing from Manchester, Tom has played with the band since 2004 replacing Laura Mattison when she vanished off to University. Tom was the fiddle presence in BBC Award winning dance band "Whapweasel" He also performs with "Moondance" and English dance band "Pigeon English" |
