Croft No. Five are one of Scotland’s most cherished progressive folk acts who created a highly influential fusion of trad, funk, world and EDM elements when they hit the scene in the late 1990’s.
Now twenty years on, they are back with all the members of their previously tortured line-up: John and Misha Somerville, Barry Reid, Somhairle MacDonald, Paul Jennings, Adam Sutherland, Duncan Lyall and Innes Watson to retake the world of trad by storm.
It is said that the bands live performances often spill over into the realm of ‘legendary happening’. As middle age bears down on these upstart loons, maturity seems to have only manifested in their musicianship.
