Ragged Staff are Ned Lawton, Caroline Riches and Mike Nacey. We are named after a 17th century inn which once stood at the crossroads in the Bedfordshire village of Silsoe. The band was formed in 2008 and our current line-up has been playing an Anglo-Celtic mix of traditional and contemporary folk music since the beginning of 2011.
With a focus on intricate arrangements and the use of a broad range of instruments such as guitar, fiddle, mandola, whistle, bodhran and uilleann pipes, we offer a host of tunes and songs to entertain you.
We have performed at festivals, folk clubs and pubs throughout Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire and are the resident band at the NAF Club in Silsoe (www.nafclub.co.uk).
We released our debut album ‘Isle of Hope’ in 2010.
The CD costs just £7 - to get a copy message or inbox us and we will tell you where to send the money!
