Erupting onto the scene as
teenagers in the late 90s Croft No. Five set out on the heels of artists like
Martyn Bennett, Shooglenifty, Wolfstone, and Capercaillie to create a dance
floor filling mix of folk, funk, and electronica.
After touring globally, releasing two studio albums and building a cult following in the early 2000s, Croft No. Five sold the farm in 2006 and parted ways to pursue other projects. Almost 25 years later and now widely considered one of the most influential folk fusion acts of the 21st century, Croft No. Five are back on the scene with a renewed enthusiasm for what they do best. The 7 piece include John Somerville (Accordion), Duncan Lyall (Bass & Synths), Barry “Spad” Reid (Guitars), Paul Jennings (Drums), Somhairle MacDonald (Bass & Percussion), Misha Somerville (Whistles), Innes Watson (Fiddle & Vocals).
Now with a wealth of experience and musicianship between them, Croft No. Five have returned to their roots to finally fulfil the band's prophecy.
