Last Orders

Joe (melodeon), Mat (guitar), Kev (fiddle) and David (fiddle) met when they were all members of Folkestra, a 17-piece band run by Kathryn Tickell at the Sage Gateshead. After putting together a set of tunes to record on a Folkestra CD, they realised that they loved playing together and decided to enter the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award. Having won this competition in 2007, they have played at some of the country’s major folk festivals including Cambridge and Fairport Convention’s Cropredy festival. They are also establishing themselves as a popular folk club and ceilidh band. Their debut CD ‘Last Orders’ was released in 2007 to critical acclaim.

John Tams (Award Winning British Folk Artist);‘an exceptionally mature and accomplished band, and their self-titled debut album is one of the top English folk recordings this year.’ Songlines World Music Magazine (December 2007)
