Straight Furrow
We are a barndance band, playing for parties, weddings and all kinds of event. We also play "just the music" gigs at pubs all over the region. Our music is mostly traditional Celtic and English. We're adding more of our own stuff too.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We got together purely to play barndances about 15 years ago. We'd all had varying enthusiams for a wide range of musical genres. Once we started practicing and arranging the tunes, the music took over.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play live all the time. It's what we do and what we love. Recording time is Sooo dry compared with "the real thing". For us, gigging is a night out with your best friends, doing what you love best for people who enjoy it AND THEN GETTING PAID!
