Voted BBC 2 Folk awards best dance band for 2005. Whapweasel are at the forefront of contemporary English roots music weaving colourful strands of folk, rock, ska and East European sounds into a wonderful melee that will leave no toe untapped. Prepare for a hoe-down!!
Over the years Whapweasel have delighted audiences at venues all over the country from birthday ceilidhs and village halls to Sidmouth International Festival, Cambridge Festival and The Big Chill.
Sheer quality playing, imagination and variety...What sets them ahead of most other bands in the field is that all their tunes are original...The beauty of these tunes is that they're absolutely in the idiom...Though they must be one hell of a band for ceilidhs, their imagination sustains repeated listening with ease. The best new dance band I've heard in at least a decade.
Ian Anderson, fRoots
Fantastic and fresh arrangements...a breathtaking sound...It's the clever juxtaposition and melding of the different elements that make for such a great sound. The final verdict: it's mint and successfully captures the essence of their live performances. It can't get much better than that.
