Dambuskers

Dambuskers are a rocking folk band; a band with 'attitude guaranteed to get an audience singing and dancing. This year they are getting the festival started with a 'bang' at the Blacksmiths Arms for a pub gig for which they are the ultimate band.

Fronted by Steve Ruffe The Wild Man of Folk who - as well as writing great songs that get audiences singing along - is on lead vocals and plays guitar, harmonica and percussion.

Chloe Watson is a an amazing folk fiddler; her classical training gives her a freedom and edge that keep her afloat above the wild things that go on around her. She is also developing into a talented singer with an amazing delivery that always adds something new to the songs she sings.

Baz Bix's musicianship has developed into a wonderfully vibrant percussive and innovative art form. Born from the infuriating tapping on his mother's kitchen table, his playing provides the essential focus of the bands rhythmic pulse. They've started to let him sing and unleashed a banshee; listen out for 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia'

Mick 'The Horse' Pledge is multi talented as Bass player, lead guitar, and sound desk when necessary, he's now taken the total of real musicians in the band up to 2!! A great live act, The Dambuskers will soon be taking to the studio to try to capture the magic for us all.
