Crowdy-Kit brings together Hannah Cumming, Jon Dyer and Matt Norman to create an energetic and inventive band.  Hannah’s fiddle provides the drive, Matt’s piano the rhythm and Jon’s flute provides that special sparkle that brings it all together. While firmly rooted in the tradition they bring influences of Jazz, Blues and Quebecois making a sound which is rich and varied but always perfect for ceilidhs or concerts alike.

The band are in the process of creatibng their first album which will be released in February 2027.

A brand new duo on the English folk scene combining Matt's inventive mandolilin playing with Luke's inventive guitar accompaniment.  Weaving new an old tunes together to make delicate and intricate arrangements. 

With foot-stomping dance beats and timeless folk tunes Gadarene have created a new and exciting sound. Their intricate arrangements and skillful playing never fail to wow audiences and to fulfil their mission- to get folk dancing.

“The perfect music for a folky rave”
