Members
Dave Holland
Plays 5 stringed electric fiddle in the band, and is prone to soar away on wonderfully inventive musical flights of fancy. Dave also plays (and occasionally dances) with Gog Magog Molly, is a fine hurdy gurdy player and earns an honest crust making sure a million gigabytes of data doesn't get broken or lost. He used to be a morris dancer and has recently been recruited as a fiddler and dancer with Milton Morris Men. Read more in Dave's Blog
Gina Holland
Sticks to the tune (somebody's got to do it) plays recorder far better than most recorder players you've heard, and as a music teacher is the only full time professional musician in the band. She also plays flute, piccolo, piano and saxophone, can get a tune out of a French horn and has ambitions with a bombarde. Gina dances with Gog Magog Molly, has done some morris dancing and regularly dances Playford and other English dances with The Round in Cambridge.
Mary Humphreys
Better known in much of the folk world as a fine singer of traditional songs and increasingly as an English concertina player, several years ago Mary accidentally discovered an aptitude for doing rhythm and bass in a ceilidh band on piano and has enjoyed doing that ever since. Not that she's stopped singing, of course: she and Anahata perform at folk clubs and festivals up and down the country. They are also part of the music team with Pig Dyke Molly in Peterborough.Read all about Mary here and as a duo with Anahata here.
Anahata
Plays melodeon in the band, with a notoriously punchy playing style. Sticks to the tune when Dave isn't and vice versa (in theory...). Outside the band, plays cello and Anglo concertina accompanying Mary's songs, puts together tune arrangements and plays bagpipes, but very rarely in public. Anahata has been in several morris teams as dancer and musician.Anahata created this web site and Mary and Anahata's web site, and several others including Pig Dyke Molly, Suffolk Folk and Mayflower Folk Music.
