Celtic folk punk band formed in 2015, based in Chesterfield and Sheffield in the north of England. The five-piece fuses raw punk energy with foot-stomping Celtic jigs and reels, fiddle and banjo, socially conscious lyrics and influences drawn from acts like New Model Army and The Clash. Fronted by Tich Vango (lead vocals, guitar), with Andy Hardwick (guitar, banjo), Jamie Burney (fiddle), Shaun Haley (bass) and drums. Released a debut EP in 2016 and a self-titled debut album in 2017.
