Description

Always welcomed by an enthusiastic audience, the band offers a mouthwatering selection of favourites from their regular repertoire, interlaced with traditional and original festive songs and Christmas carols. This cracker of a show will see Christmas in with a bang and a paper hat-full of surprises, novelties - and terrible jokes as well.

The Churchfitters is a folk band like no other. A bass guitar made out of a frying pan. Heart-wrenching vocals accompanied by a musical saw. Foot-stompingly fast fiddle mixed with infectious funk-rock bouzouki. And traditional tunes reinvigorated with mesmerising jazz sax.

The three virtuoso musicians from England and France strut their stuff on a stage that bristles with instruments - adding flute, banjo, dulcimer, tin whistle, guitar, ukulele, stand up dustbin bass and a sackful of percussion to their ensemble. And let?s not forget the unique ?bing-bong? machine made out of hacksaw blades.

Throw in some exquisite harmonies, a slew of startlingly original songs and a few jokes that create instant rapport and you?ve got a high energy show that always leaves audiences cheering. How do you adequately describe such a musically diverse, uplifting band? You leave it to Mike Harding, a self-confessed ?huge, huge fan?. He calls them 'totally brilliant and beautiful'.

The Churchfitters are as quirky as their name (nothing to do with churches or fitting anything) but they are certainly no joke. These skilled multi-instrumentalists will entrance their audience with beautiful harmonies one moment and the next have them toe-tapping to a foot-stomping fiddle.
