The band’s fiddle player Ruth Behan said, “We were very pleased to hear about the award! We’re looking forward to a busy season of festivals this year including Bearded Theory, Priming the Pump and Once upon a Time in the West.
“Don’t miss our warm-up gig when we headline the Fest-i-Bell at our local – the wonderful Bell on the Common in Broughton Gifford.”
