The Rising Sun Band

Webfeet Home Up Search Help

'Pathologically Acoustic' band from the Northwest of England playing local tunes. Lively without being electric, necessarily lower key than the southern 'English Ceilidh' bands and with less forced 'lift' - you do tend to dance on the floor rather than above it. Still a good sign of what is being lost in the Rock/Jazz/Euro development in the south.

Used to be The Band of the Rising Sun until 1998, They moved to a shorter name when they became a smaller band...
