Geoff Higginbottom and Rob Carroll play 6 & 12 string guitars and bodhran as well as singing unaccompanied. Geoff sings traditional songs (his powerful voice being ideal for the chorus songs he loves) and also contemporary song on a wide range of subjects and from a variety of different sources.
So What Now - This highly entertaining quintet presents jazz standards, classic Latin grooves & blues with their own brand of vibrancy, humour and most importantly with a whole lot of swing! Entertainment is strictly the name of the game and wherever they perform, the response is the same – a great reaction from both jazz buffs and newcomers to the music. Much of this is due to the varied programme of generally well known tunes but always with a few surprises thrown in.
