The Cyriacs are a four-piece ensemble from Cambridgeshire – Chloe Grimes (vocals), Jeanette Langford (fiddle), Phil Milner (bass) and Andrew Noyes (guitar and vocals) – who play a wide range of songs and tunes with energy and drive. Two further players – Karen Kehren (fiddle) and Jochen (melodeon) – join to make the full ceilidh band, with the band’s caller Dee Noyes. Dee teaches the dance steps that allow everyone to join in the fun. Band member Andrew formed The Cyriacs in 2011, with his long-time friend Phil. He and his fellow band members have been entertaining audiences ever since.
“Fun, frolics and frivolity, complimented by an amazing range of instrumental and vocal material from a talented band of musicians!” – Cambridge Folk Club

David Savage’s repertoire comprises mainly traditional English songs and tunes. Most of the songs he performs are ‘stories’, whose purpose was to entertain people at home, in the alehouse, or on board ship.  David believes that the story is the most important part of any song, so he keeps his accompaniments simple. The concertina is his accompaniment of choice, although he has been known to use the Appalachian dulcimer too.  His story songs sometimes have unusual outcomes!
