About

Mike, Bernadette, and Siobhan have been playing music in some form or another all their lives, and nearly all of that has been on the folk scene. All three are vocalists with that gift for harmony that seems innate in musical families.

All are multi-instrumentalists, and their repertoire spans the full range of their folk experience, from British traditional songs to contemporary bluegrass ballads, along with some originals, with a strong focus on tight harmonies.

More recently, they have been focusing on their take on work by local musicians.

Mike plays most things with strings and hails from bands such as The Chaps and Catgut & Steel.

Bernadette was the lead singer of the Celtic ensemble, Teud, and both she and Siobhan were half of the highly respected a capella group, Rhonda and the Ravers.

Bernadette plays concertina and Celtic harp while Siobhan is a fiddle player, guitarist and mandolin player.
