Now living in Southport, they are earning an increasingly high reputation as a duo, equally at home in intimate acoustic rooms or on big stages, but before then, Chris (fiddle, viola, octave mandola, voice) and Siobhan (lovely voice) were well-known in this area, performing for 20 years with 'The Cluster of Nuts Band' and 'The New St George' and were long-term members of 'Loose Screws' Appalachian Dancers & String Band along with Barry Wake, with whom they now work sometimes as 'Nelsons Wake'. They performed at the 2004 Solent Folk Festival and when they couldn't make the 2005 Festival, they were invited to the Fo'c'sle instead. Their constantly growing repertoire is mostly contemporary British, with some traditional, some self-penned and some American songs (a few sung a cappella), ranging from haunting ballads to old-timey by such diverse writers as Sandy Denny and Mark Knopfler (and by Barry Wake) and they have 2 CDs to their credit.
