"Martin has been entertaining with his songs and fine guitar playing for 35 years on the West Yorkshire folk scene. He began his musical interest as a teenager by first learning the harmonica before progressing to the acoustic guitar. Through the years this has led him to master the mandolin, tenor banjo and bohran often used in accompanying fellow musicians. In the last few years Martin has written 23 songs, published two CDs and is working on his third. Martin has an extensive repertoire, which includes lively Irish, contemporary folk, gentle ballads and his self-penned songs, which always prove popular." |

We regularly play for various private events such as weddings, birthday parties and social events. We come with our own caller, PA system (fully PAT tested) and sound engineer. The band and caller are equally happy to provide ceilidhs both for audiences who are completely new ceilidh dancing and for those who are more experienced dancers.
