Bow and Box are a dynamic folk duo from the South Coast. They specialise in delivering unique ceilidh experiences, invigorating concerts, and enhancing background music for any occasion. Chris Nichols on fiddle and viola, and Matt Smee on diatonic accordions, the duo formed after a chance meeting while busking on Eastleigh high street. Their musical chemistry was immediate, igniting their passion to create the unforgettable sounds of Bow & Box.

Such a great pair of musicians with a good natured skilled caller. Just what we wanted - and needed - to get our wedding party going. They had all ages up and dancing - brilliant fun!
