Meeting as members of Folk on the Moor, now based once again at The Moorland Hotel, Wotter, they began collaborating in 2016. It was indeed folk at first sight. They have 6 albums to their name so far, many of the self-penned songs the result of a synergy which means that the whole is more than the sum of its parts. Their latest offering, “Shadows on the Sand” features 12 original songs all located in Cornwall.

"We pride ourselves on our versatility and broad repertoire, covering a range of genres while remaining true to our folk roots. We are experienced musicians who infuse every performance with energy and passion. From soulful ballads that tug at heartstrings to lively "earworm" chorus songs that get everyone singing, we capture the essence of every musical moment. As we continue to expand our sound, we aspire to bring the rich heritage of folk music to new audiences, while also embracing contemporary influences that keep our writing and our performances fresh and engaging."

Their vocal and instrumental blend are recognised by club and festival audiences as well as fellow performers.
