Details

Joe O'Connor (melodeon), Matthew Jones (guitar), Kevin Lees (fiddle) and David Jones (fiddle) met when they were all members of Folkestra, a 17-piece band run by Kathryn Tickell at the Sage Gateshead. After putting together a set of tunes to record on a Folkestra CD, they realised that they loved playing together and decided to enter the 2007 BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award and they won. In July 2007 they issued their first album Last Orders on the Fellside label FECD207. Currently they are all studying at University so fitting in performance dates is not the simplest of tasks however expect a fun and dazzling performance from these fine young musicians.
