They are: Julie Ann Souter (Caller) Maurice Condie (Guitar/Cittern) Marina Dodgson (Fiddle) Adam Holden (Piano) All of us bring to the band extensive musical experience, including playing for dancing, performing in other ensembles and playing with each other. Maurice and Marina play together as "Miggins Fiddle", and Maurice plays with Adam as "Another Penny". Adam also performs solo as a singer songwriter, while Maurice and Marina are members of the award winning “The Sunday Trio”. We are all directors of the well established North East folk music development company. Phoenix Folk Ltd.

"We really enjoyed the ceilidh! It was so much fun. You played a great selection of tunes and gave us a nice variety of dances: a good mix of the sedate-paced and the more lively and challenging. The callers were clear and gave us good directions which was great. I hope we can do it again soon!"
