The Huckleberries - Celtic and Bluegrass

The Huckleberries began life in 1996 as a busking duo on the streets of Bournemouth, and has now grown to a six piece band that comprises 5-string Banjo/Mandolin, Mandola Fiddle, Guitar, Electric Bass and Drums.
To begin with the music was mainly Traditional Irish, English and Scottish tunes mixed with American Bluegrass and a touch of Ragtime. Then as the band grew so more original material was introduced combining the traditional flavour with a more contemporary dance feel, which is proving to have a wide appeal in all sections of the music loving public.
This appeal is also due to the infectious enjoyment the band communicate at their performances, and accounts for the great reception they receive at their live gigs, and the high volume of album sales over the years.
