Three 'alves at Warwick!

See what we have to put up with? Past and present members of the band are playing our hearts out while Simon takes a beer break!

The Roebuck Inn was rockin' to the sounds of the 'Sods at Warwick Folk Festival. If you've ever wondered why we always announce that we're playing an "evening of three 'alves", it's because we cram in more into the night than yer average mad Irish folk band - not because we're lousy at maths.

Our Saturday night session featured the band and friends, including Colin Squire on guitar, Caroline Sampson on whistle/recorder, former Oddsod Louisa Davies-Foley on the fiddle and founder Oddsod Michael Mahon on banjo (Pete Willow did try to sabotage this by breaking a string while tuning the banjo, but Banjo Mike grabbed Paul Kenny's instrument and kept on plucking away).

We also appeared in concert on the Friday night but without the dulcet sounds of Doc Rider's euphonium and bass harmony as he was attending his stepson's wedding that day. We know - such a feeble excuse.

Anyway it was a wild Warwick. Chele Willow took some great pics - see for yourself - including some interesting poses of the Sods in musical action.
