With a wealth of performing and recording experience between them, and a considerable catalogue of original and traditional music, they have joined together to form Fleetwood Cave.

They are also popular performers at Fairport’s Cropredy Convention.

With her personality, vocals and fiddle playing, Marion Fleetwood has always been a favourite with Banbury Folk Club and Festival, making regular appearances with Meet on the Ledge, Colvin Quarmby, the Jigantics and the Gerry Colvin Band.

Gregg Cave has also become a staunch supporter of Banbury Folk Club and Festival and went down a storm at the club when he and fiddler Nick Ellison played a double bill with King’s Gambit.

The new album was crowdfunded in eight weeks and recorded over five days in a village hall in Northampton, with the added musical input of Tali Trow (double bass) and Stratford based musician and producer Paul Johnston (drums and percussion). It includes all original material from Marion and Gregg as well as one cover,
