Mick Ryan and Pete Harris are an inspired pairing who regularly delight audiences with a varied repertoire that draws on both traditional and contemporary material, including many widely recorded songs from Mick's own pen. Mick is a gifted singer with great tonal quality and superb control. His singing is perfectly complemented by Pete's sensitive vocal harmonies and stylish accompaniment on a variety of instruments. The resultant sound is "full, but not overblown, perfect for the songs" (Dirty Linen). Their music has been described as "essential for anyone who loves beautifully crafted folk" (Folk on Tap).

Bill Whaley and Dave Fletcher are "names that bring a light of joy to the eyes of other singers and folk club organisers" (Living Tradition). This reputation is based on their talents as singers and musicians, which have developed and mellowed through 25 years of experience performing together, both as a duo and as members of the Higgledy Piggledy Band. The result is a fine blend of voices, accompanied in traditional style on English and Duet concertinas, harmonium and melodeon. Add to this an obvious love of the music and a cutting sense of humour and it's no wonder that Bill and Dave's fan club continues to grow with each new performance.

Lynne Heraud and Pat Turner are two ladies in prefect harmony "who take their listeners on a magical journey" (Living Tradition). Individually, they are accomplished singers and seasoned performers both as solo artistes and in combination with others (e.g. Keith Kendrick; Filigree etc.). Together Pat and Lynne are two of the most experienced and established harmony singers on the folk scene. Their repertoire is wide ranging, leaning towards the English tradition but also encompassing their own material and Victorian / Edwardian songs. Pat and Lynne's interpretation of the music is sensitive, competent and laced with plenty of humour.
