From United Kingdom

2001 BiographyOne of England’s great live bands, the soul of The Oyster Band is rooted deeply in the traditional music of the British Isles. They sing and play with a unique integrity, passion and emotional intensity, the five-piece line-up featuring voices, violin, accordion, banjo, guitar, bass and drums. The Oyster Band has developed and refined its super-energetic sound of folk, rock and conscious music over the last twenty years; touring constantly to an ever-growing international audience. "In my time we’ve drunk away a century, In my time we’ve tried to walk it honestly . . ."Official website:www.oysterband.co.uk
