Mike, Bernadette and Siobhan have been playing music in some form or other, all their lives and nearly all of that on the folk scene. All three are vocalists with a that gift for harmony that seems innate in musical families. All are multi-instrumentalists and their repertoire covers all the ranges of their folk experience, from British traditional songs to contemporary bluegrass ballads along with some originals with a strong focus on tight harmonies. More recently they have been focussing on their take on work by local musicians. Mike plays most things with strings and hails from bands such as The Chaps and Catgut and Steel. Bernadette was the lead singer of the Celtic ensemble, Teud and both she and Siobhan were half of the highly respected a capella group, Rhonda and the Ravers. Bernadette plays concertina and Celtic harp while Siobhan is a fiddle player, guitarist and mandolin player.
