Rack and Ruin is a full-on, folk-rock experience, playing pubs, festivals and private parties. Comprising vocals, guitar/bouzouki, fiddle, bass and drums, Rack and Ruin play a combination of lively jigs and reels, original songs and soulful ballads - a true mix of folk and rock.
“A big thank you to the band. Everyone has said how much they enjoyed themselves and how good you all were. It was a great night, and a brilliant celebration for us.” MAUREEN & ROGER TAYLOR
Rack and Ruin also specialises in lively ceilidhs (barn dances) complete with a caller. Set dances being called over loud and lively jigs and reels - not your average, twee ceilidh band! more>>
