just the BEGINNING
Alt-folk duo Ollie Back and Sam on the fiddle, newly formed for a gig on New Years Eve 2018 - both experienced live performers are combining their musical skills and vocal tones at venues across the South West.
Ollie has been working as a solo artist and Sam has played with bands around the UK at festivals, theatres and arts centres. They have been developing sets suitable for rural and family pubs to work on their sound and arrangements. This has gone down very well, they have been re-booked to play again at most venues
and are due to play their 40th gig before the year is out.
Ollie & Sam are also working towards original songs, and sets suitable for folk clubs and music festivals for 2019.
We are now joined by Chris White on drum or bass,
for a fuller more driving sound suitable for larger events.
