Swinging Sounds & Funky Grooves The Five String Way!

Formed in Edinburgh in November 2007 this group are a finger-popping, tune-swinging acoustic quartet who combine the awesome power of double bass with fat strumming acoustic guitar and the novelty redneck jazz styling of the five string banjo.

The band have many years of gigging experience at all levels of the music business and they know exactly how to get the room jumping and jiving.

It’s an electric atmosphere all the way from this band so expect a thrilling mixture of classic pop from the 60's to the present day & bit of Johnny Cash style rock’n’roll, some very-danceable funky acoustic Motown plus a heavy sprinkling of lovely Tom Jones style showbiz...
