We are a four piece band, two reeds, two rhythm living in West Cumbria. We play music in the spirit, if not always the style of what might loosely be called New Orleans music. Our repertoire includes many well known marches spirituals and traditional blues and also numbers from related genres like country,cajun, New Orleans rhythm & blues and some of those old créole numbers from the Kid Ory song book (Sung in Créole) We play weddings, birthdays and similar occasions
As a trio, Nick, Russ and Frank, we play once a fortnight at Sweeney’s Bar in Keswick. This is on a Friday night. We start at 9.30 and have been known to play well after midnight if we had a good audience.
As yet we have no studio recordings but we do have a number of self published CDs available. Click HERE for more information.
A few years ago my daughter Karen shot a video of the band in the Riverside Bar of the Whitewater Hotel, Backbarrow and all the cuts from this are now on You Tube. I’ve linked them all to this website and you can watch them by clicking on this link
