I used to be in a band with the fiddle player of this band but hadn't watched them for a while. They had a different line up which isn't detrimental with folk music.
It was interesting watching the nods and queues that the fiddle player gave from the outside rather than needing to respond to them personally on stage.

 The nature of this music is so fun and enjoyable that the whole audience was dancing around, cheering and clapping. Their dancing wasn't in a traditional sense, more their bodies responding to the sound.

 As performers they were very charismatic and entertaining. They built suspense, never stood still and at one point they played on their knees. Their music is from a different culture and therefore unusual to listen to but thoroughly enjoyable and very catchy.

Caulder The Lending Rooms 31.05.19 The songs were extremely musically created. T he songs progressed through lots of layer, you were watching the texture build.  They were thoughtfully composed with build ups and drops. The tunes had a balance of being exposed as well as loud and expressive.  A memorable part was where the first half of the last song was played on acoustic guitar and recorded on a loop which was then played back in the second half, layering it with electric guitar and different drums. They were technically constructed and the phrases had dynamic range. There were some talented funky improvisations. The songs have a balance of being organised while DIY and experimental. Their set was varied, each song was quite different. They had such control over their sound. They were extremely in-sync, carrying out well coordinated stops in their songs. They could completely fill the room and created such a full sound out from 2 musicians.
