Based in Dorset, we've been brewing our folk-rock concoction since forming on St Paddy's day 2013. As a 6 piece we've written and released 2 EP's and are working on our debut album due 2016 with a new single coming out in Summer. We also incorporate our own upbeat spin on traditional Celtic and English folk songs with influence from The Pogues, Flogging Molly, Reel Big Fish, Mumford and Sons, Frank Turner, The Dreadnoughts and Dropkick Murphys.

2015 saw no weekend free in a relentless year of conquering new ground across the country to venues such as Mr Kyps Poole, The Joiners Southampton, The BIC Bournemouth, Bridport Arts Centre, Alleycat and The Water Rats Soho, The Troubadour and Dingwalls London, The Hootanany Brixton, The Fleece Bristol and The Square Harlow.
We are most at home in the grassy fields of a festival and on stage we give it everything we've got. Our past festival endeavours include Boomtown Fair, Camp Bestival, The Great Dorset Steam Fair, Wessex Folk Festival, Outcider Festival, Wimborne Folk Festival and Bournemouth Sevens.
