Tonight's music



This is the traditional English quartet Kerfuffle, recorded at the Gosport and Fareham Easter Festival in 2006. Dirty Linen describs them as "delightfully sophisticated". The singer is Hannah James, who also plays the accordion. She is 19 years old and is a student at Newcastle University working on a Folk and Tradition Music degree.

The other members are Sam Sweeny (fiddle, percussion), Tom Sweeney (bass guitars) and Chris Thornton-Smith (guitar).

Unfortunately I don't see any US dates for them but if that changes I'll post an update.
