We are a Lincolnshire based Ceilidh band, with all members having over 20 years of Ceilidh experience.
We have many talents, of which a few are listed below.
Caller & Percussion
Lesley Prue is our dance caller, with many years experience as well as being a morris musician and a nifty percussionist
Piano-Accordian & Vocals
Kim Biggs, married to Phil, is our lead musician and a skilled writer of quirky dance tunes.
Guitar & Whistle
Phil Biggs plays electric and acoustic guitar, and flute, as well as writing songs and playing in the trio "Better Late than Naked" with Mark and John Blanks
Bass Guitar
Mark has played bass in folk and roots music for over 35 years, and in that time has worked as a folk festival organiser, Musicians Union Officer, and BBC radio presenter. Alongside Phil he also writes songs with "Better Late than Naked".
Drums & Percussion
Jim is at home behind a large array of drums and other percussive instruments. These provide Akmed's Camel with the modern, upbeat style that underlines our music. He can be tamed for smaller venues.
Sound & Lighting
Colin is our Sound and Lighting Engineer. With a theatrical passion, he brings a visual and technical enhancement to the traditional Ceilidh world.
Prefering to mix at the back of the hall rather than on stage, he ensures that the best sound possible is achieved for the audience, rather than the band.
