HOT RATS

Formed in 1992 to support Doug Hudson's One Man Show, this band has played around the world and features Ian Cutler on violin, Mike Peters on bass and vocals and Doug himself on guitar and vocals. Ian tours with the Feast of Fiddles each year and Doug does some solo comedy work but the band takes up the majority of the musicians' time. They have played many major folk festivals in the UK and abroad and their vitality and virtuosity is their trademark. They currently have three CDs available and their new album 'Tour de France' recorded live in a secret venue in Dunkerque and in the Theatre Les Insolites in St Georges Sur L'Aa is released at the end of April 2008. They continue to work at a tremendous rate.
