Boldwood

"A shining example of English folk music" EFN

About Me

Boldwood is a new band of experienced musicians with a shared love of traditional English dance music.

BECKY PRICE (accordion) played for the Cambridge Morris men and the Rose & Castle of Blisworth, was in Finality Jack for 7 years and has recorded CDs with Blowzabella members Dave Shepherd ("Ashburnham" 2001) and Jon Swayne ("Love and a Bottle" 2005)

RICHARD HEACOCK (fiddle/viola) has played for Ickneild and Stanton Harcourt morris sides, the Vale Islanders and ceilidh band Lost Marbles. He also composed the music for Tony Robinson's "The Worst Jobs in History" (Channel 4.)

DANIEL WOLVERSON (fiddle/viola) plays fiddle in Pach Pi, Infamous Grouse and Finnegan's Wok, and hurdy-gurdy in Cyser. He has played and run workshops at Sidmouth, Towersey and Folk Beat.

KATE MORAN (fiddle/viola) recently completed a Masters in violin performance at the RNCM in Manchester. She has played in ceilidh bands since she was small and currently divides her time between Boldwood, freelance classical playing and violin teaching.

TIM PERKINS (bouzouki/ guitar) still plays with and composes for Finality Jack. He also composes for symphony orchestra, and has recorded 5 CDs with "V for Vendetta" writer Alan Moore.
