Gordon A Jackson - mandola; Sam Sloan - accordion, melodeon; Ian Carey - mandolin

The Jones boys (in all their permutations) are committed musicians, well versed in the Celtic, Breton and other European traditions. Playing their own material as well as traditional material, I have come to call the pan-europe music that they play "Euro-Celt" from the way it looks backwards at the common roots of traditional music, and forward to the synthesising of new common-ground traditions.
