The Courtiers are a Portsmouth based four piece acoustic band, playing traditional and original foot-stomping folk

A highly sought after Celtic folk band, The Courtiers have wowed crowds at numerous festivals, folk clubs, and private events of all descriptions. They play a lively mix of songs and tunes from the Irish, Scottish and English folk traditions, with some Americana and world influences thrown in. From crowd pleasers like The Pogues, Dubliners etc, to Led Zeppelin acoustic mash-ups and ancient ballads dug from the archives. The Courtiers combine dazzling musicianship, witty banter, and pure entertainment which never fails to get a crowd on their feet!

Another brilliant night on Thursday and it was great to see the Vaults so full. Rob wants the date of the next one please? ... particular favorites were Galway Girl, Irish Rover and that lovely instrumental piece on the whistle. Was it a low F and what was the piece called please? As usual the violin playing was amazing and we were in awe.
