Croft No. Five

About Me

Croft No. Five were one of the UK's highest energy live acts. Drawing strength from a deep-routed Scottish Music Tradition and inspiration from a generations worth of Techno and Electronic music, Croft No. Five created a Nu-Folk mix which swings from instrumental Drum n' Bass to Electro - Folk. They have taken their music onto stages around the world, from New York to the Czech Republic, in the process turning themselves into a 'must see' act with a stage show that is both original and entertaining. At the end of the summer of 2006 it all came to an end as Croft No. Five split up and headed their separate ways. The band have been together for 8 years and have enjoyed the highs and hated the lows. The members will go on to play music in many different forms. Stay tuned. Thankyou.
