Tappy Lappy Quartet
“Sheer
class! Insightful arrangements and truly original compositions put Tappy
Lappy Quartet far above many of their
musical peers.” David Foley (Rura, Folklub)
English folk group
Tappy
Lappy Quartet combines
traditional with original music to
create
intricate
and captivating
arrangements. Featuring the soulful melodeon playing of Dave Gray,
bewitching vocals of Bryony Bainbridge and driving guitar and fiddle
playing of BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award winners Matt Jones and Kev Lees,
Tappy Lappy Quartet performs
engaging songs, lively melodies and compelling
harmonies. Having met
on the vibrant folk scene of Newcastle upon Tyne before touring parts of the world separately, the musicians have joined to re-visit
their roots whilst drawing on new influences. Expect musicianship of the highest order.
Dave Gray (Melodeon) has quickly established
himself as a fine player on the English folk scene. Recognised for his expressive style
and enthusiastic presence on stage, Dave can be seen performing with Världens Band, Jim Boyle & Dave Gray and Horizontal Sunday.
Bryony
Bainbridge (Fiddle
& Song), previous finalist at the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards, is
a fine exponent of traditional song, drawing on her strong background
in classical music to create a fresh and contemporary sound.
Matt Jones (Guitar) started out playing
at Newcastle’s Irish Centre before discovering the wealth of music from Northumberland,
Scotland and Scandinavia. Known for his steadfast
playing and innovative
arranging, Matt performs around the world with Världens Band, McPeake and Rhona Dalling.
Kev
Lees (Fiddle), a fine player of
Scottish and Northumbrian traditions, has toured the major UK folk
festivals with bands Last Orders and Monster Ceilidh Band. Now he can be
found exploring the Danish
music scene whilst playing
with D.u.K, Night Fall and King Cole.
Currently based on opposite sides of
the North Sea, Tappy Lappy Quartet is available for bookings across the UK, Denmark and Germany with their brand new EP.
