The line up features Tony Plato and Paul Bateman on Drums and Bass/vox the rhythm section of many classic indie bands including The Waxroom, Jackdaw music and the Garbage Grinders, along with Russell Frampton [ Vox guitar ] and Paul Wilson with roots in the alt folk scene through the Joyce Gang, The Venoms and Shaking ground. Russell was also a front man for the Bluegrass Flyers, for many years playing guitar, fiddle and mandolin. Plymouthian Paul Wilson is a great melodeon player, equally at home with Shetland/irish, Cajun and free form improvisation….! All of the band has toured nationally and have many years of gigging experience and these sets are culled from deep connections with Americana and Folk, Rock and blues and the common ground between these styles provides a rich territory to explore.
