Bottle Bank Band
Stewart Hardy ☎️0191 237 2358
🕸️FACEBOOK
Bottle Bank Band brings together the talents of four Tyneside fiddlers: Sophy Ball, Chloe Jones, David Jones and Stewart Hardy. The band takes its name from the one-time residence of Tyneside’s most famous fiddling son, James Hill. Their repertoire is firmly rooted in but by no means limited to the North East of England – a region which enjoys a centuries old tradition of fiddle playing. Individually the members of Bottle Bank Band have all established reputations as outstanding musicians. By coming together in this combination, they create an exciting and exhilarating musical landscape: the glorious sound of four fiddles, rich in harmony and captivating arrangements, is underpinned by an instinctive understanding of traditional playing, which gives voice and space to the musicality and talent of the individual players.

Gaelforce
Chris 📨chris.dyson02@hotmail.co.uk
🕸️https://www.gaelforcecelticrock.co.uk/
Gaelforce originated as an idea in the late 1980s, evolving from a popular Yorkshire folk rock band known as Cocky—a name reflecting the region’s term for confidence. Several members of Cocky sought a rockier sound, leading to the formation of Gaelforce, with Chris Dyson on fiddle and mandola, Karen Exley on vocals, David Collins on keyboards, and Roy Whyke on drums. The group was soon joined by bassist and multi-instrumentalist Hugh Bradley from Huddersfield and Barnsley rock guitarist Pete Moreton.
