About Me


JackHare is one of the Yorkshire Coast's premier ceilidh bands. We're a mixture of trad and rock - not quite e-ceilidh, but not efdss either.
We have a front line of three melodeons, and a back line of guitar, electric guitar, drums and bass. We have a unique sound!
Our line-up is spread along the North Yorks coast, from Whitby to Bridlington, and inland as far as Malton. We've played in all points between and as far afield as Guisborough and York; we'll go further in the right circumstances.
JackHare is the new incarnation of Last Resort.
