The Legendary Jack Woods

Our mandolin player, the legendary Jack Woods, has left the band to concentrate on his many other musical projects,
After about 8 years with the band, we sent him off from his last gig with us at The Snickleway Inn in November, clutching his Leather’o Lifetime Achievement Award.
He will be travelling in Asia in early 2023 but we’re hoping he’ll join us for a couple of St Patricks gigs in March.

Band Website Travels Back in Time

We had an unfortunate incident with the band’s website. The software provider did an upgrade (of a function we don’t even use) and broke the site. Our web master restored it, but only back to where it was a year ago, and it took a few days before we noticed it had travelled back in time.

This is why we had to take it down for maintenance. It also explains why there’s a bit of a gap between summer 2021 and summer 2022. We’ve tried to rebuild it from memory!

St Patrick’s day

We always do one or two gigs around St Patricks day. These are usually a bit different to our usual set. This year we arrived to set up and were told the other act had pulled out, so could we please play from 7pm to 9pm, which we were booked for, then continue to 10.30pm. We have a lot of tunes in the back catalogue, so we made it through.

The next day we had a lovely gig in Bishop Wilton village hall – a completely different crowd and a great night!
