We are pleased to announce a new band that brings together the much admired vocal talents and traditional song repertoire of Chris 'Yorkie' Bartram with the music of Neil Brookes and Tony Weatherall, whose critically acclaimed CD 'the Whitchurch Hornpipe' explored 19th century dance tunes of North Shropshire.

Our line-up allows us to work as a concert band, featuring traditional songs and tunes, and also as an English style dance band. We are also able to offer tune workshops and lead song and music sessions.
We hope to perform at clubs, festivals and dances throughout the country - contact us for more details.
