The band consists of Simon Taylor - guitar and vocals, Mike Fossett - fiddle and vocals and Ralf Dorrell - double bass. They have all been stalwarts of the music scene in the area for many, many years. There is definitely no lack of experience! They came together to form the band in 2014.

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), and community music ensemble director. 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.
