| Kit and Boodle have
played together now for about 12 years, and in that time have played for a
wide variety of events, including the Sidmouth International Folk
Festival. The range of instruments we play has changed somewhat over the
years and now comprises: Button accordion, concertina, fiddle,
mandolin, whistle, hammered dulcimer, guitar and Leicestershire small
pipes. Although only a three piece band, a good depth of sound is
achieved with the specially designed amplification system and since each
member plays a variety of instruments, tunes of varying texture can be
achieved. John’s accordion, as well as providing a rich full tone
acoustically, also has an electronic system which adds very effective bass
and chordal sounds, ideal for dance music. |
