Bandersnatch

Bandersnatch has created a distinctive style within the folk, roots and acoustic genre with a blend of great harmonies and wonderful musical arrangements. The band has the ability to move seamlessly from traditional to contemporary song to self-penned material with a repertoire ranging from gentle ballads to driving, rhythmic folk rock and americana. Whilst often giving a refreshing edge to established favourites, the band also endeavours to introduce contrasting material from the less frequently explored corners of this particular musical landscape. The warmth and humour that allows them to connect with their audience is not compromised by the discipline that they bring to their performance.

Bandersnatch emerged in early 2000, when six individuals with substantial musical experience decided to create a sound that combines rich vocal harmonies and musicianship. 

The band lineup now comprises:

Rebecca Raw: violin/viola & vocals.

Dave Howard: mandolin, guitar, banjo, dobro & vocals

Ed McGurk:  guitar, cittern, whistles & vocals

Norman Raw: bass & vocals.

Ian Kell: acoustic/electric guitar, piano & vocals
