The band consists of Simon Taylor - guitar and vocals, Mike Fossett - fiddle and vocals and Ralf Dorrell - double bass. With a combined performance record of greater than 100 years, there is no lack of experience!

Simon and Mike go back a long way, having grown up together in Filton, Bristol. Both played together in the well-established pub and ceilidh band the Electric Lobsters and western swing band Vamoose. Simon also plays in the harmony trio The Water Thieves. Mike played in the Prog/Rock outfit BlueDog.


Ralf is busy on the South West music scene as a composer, performer (double bass and bass guitar), community music ensemble director, lecturer, teacher and workshop tutor. He is also very active as a jazz musician; both as a sideman for other bandleaders, and also running his own quartet, 'Snappersnipes', as a vehicle for his original jazz compositions.
