The band features: John Jones (vocal & melodeon), Alan Prosser (guitars & vocal), Ian Telfer (violin, concertina & vocal) and Dil Davies (drums). Former bass player Ray Cooper left the band in February 2013.

Key songs include "Rose Of England", "New York Girls", "Love Vigilantes" and "Over The Water".
