From Buddy Holly and Bessie Smith, to traditional and contemporary songs and ballads, the acoustic sounds of Toein’ in the Dark cross a broad spectrum of musical tastes and styles.
With a philosophy of "if we like it, we'll play it", Andrew, Carmel, Bob and Jen have an infectious enthusiasm for their music, presenting enjoyable, stimulating and lively musical entertainment. Their use of guitar, fiddle, accordion, piano, whistle, mandolin and djembe, combined with strong vocals and harmonies, gives them an unusual, distinctive and dynamic style which lends itself to a diverse range of material.
Since their formation in 1994 the band has gained a wide experience playing at a variety of venues ranging from folk clubs, festivals, shows, pubs and private functions to their acclaimed performances at the Buxton Opera House and on the Arts for Life Stage at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2004. Their CD, Such A Long Way Back Home, has also featured on BBC TV.
