I’m not sure what the neighbours will be thinking I’ve just been running through the tunes for the Celtarabia set through a 1k rig with multi-fx and 3 pickups on the gurdy in my upstairs studio in preparation for Beverley Folk Festival my ears are ringing and I can’t wait to play the gurdy is sounding sweet so ready to rock and roll!

"After a full day of music and a fair bit of drinking, the crowd was starting to get itchy feet. The first signs were a bit of shuffling and swaying, which became more animated whenever an act performed an upbeat number, and ended up with people jigging and reeling at the front of the stage. By the time the final act was ready to play they really needed something more, though; something that would allow them to absolutely lose themselves in sound and rhythm. Thankfully, that final act were Celtarabia; right from the off the crowd became a seething mass of whirling dervishes, immersed in 45 minutes of hypnotic world and roots fusion. There really was no finer way to end the day!"
