Chamber folk wrapped in old-time banjo

Meet the band

Five friends and a banjo

An award-winning, exquisite chamber-folk ensemble wrapped in old-time banjo.

Nick Henderson (banjo) composes music of cinematic beauty inspired by the mighty Dyarubbin, a border-collie called Miles, the sweeping beauty of Dharawal country and a deep well of musical inspiration spanning New-Grass, Scandinavian Fiddle Music and Post-Rock.

Tracks and notes

The passages of ethereal phrases and sweeping melodic crescendos were most beautifully captured in Britt's House as well as the premiere performance of the powerful Push.

Tony Roma, Eastside Radio 89.7FM, reviewing Cobargo Folk Festival 2024

I think instrumental music can sometimes go direct to the heart, more than music with lyrics.
