The Band

FOLK AND COUNTRY TRADITIONAL AND ORGINAL AND MUSICAL CABARET

 


ClydeBuilt at the Sma` Shott Cottages, Paisley.  From the left, John Haram, Fiona Collins, Ronnie Collins, Stewart Davidson.



   Formed in 2005 `the band` fuses the versatility of Fiona`s classic

  and traditional fiddle playing with the subtle elegance of Stewart`s

  Folk roots, coupled with the originality of Ronnie`s ballads, industrial

  anthems and love songs with more than a hint of country style but

  still firmly embracing their Scottish heritage, all given depth

  by John`s unique and masterful bass playing.  The band produce a

  sound of harmony and resonance which encompass many popular 

  folk, traditional and original styles of music and song, providing quality

  entertainment and appealing to a broad and diverse audience.

  Humour, banter and versatillity help create a relaxed cabaret style

  atmosphere.   As well as fiddle player in the band  Fiona plays

  accordion, keyboard and vocals.  Stewart vocals, guitar, button box,

  keyboard, mouth organ.  Ronnie vocals, guitar.
