The band started off as three piece - guitar, banjo, vocals, but another friend of ours played guitar and sang so we persuaded him to play washtub bass then he bought himself a double bass last year - still occasionally longs for the simplicity of the 'tub. Our fiddle boy and banjo man walked off into the sunset and we have gradually recruited new horses: JohnFrance-dobro Alley Heley-fiddle Tony Hopper-percussion Simon Fitzpatrick-mandolin to add to the stalwarts- Chris Mullarkey-double bass Di Nicholson-Vocals,Gtr Gary Nicholson-Vocals,Gtr,Banjo.
