It is now a trio featuring Simone Dawson on vocals, flute and whistles, Rachel Antone on vocals and percussion and Mal Bennett on vocals and guitar.

With 5 popular CDs to its credit and countless performances at festivals near and far (including a number at the National Folk Festival), it's lush 3 part harmonies and imaginative instrumental backing, the band is playing and singing better than ever.
