Last appeared at the Grove:

Bill and Dave came to the Grove a couple of years ago. Would people turn out for them?
They were not disappointed, nor were we. We had a terrific night of song and dry, perhaps sardonic, humour!

From their Website:
Well known throughout their native county, Lincolnshire, both for their club work as a duo and as members of the Higgledy Piggledy band, Bill and Dave present a fine blend of voices mellowed by nearly thirty years of singing together.
Their selection of songs encompasses both ancient and modern accompanied in traditional style on English and duet concertina, harmonium, and melodeon, with enough choruses to satisfy any audience.
CD albums
The pleasure they get from singing is obvious and since the release of their debut album "...Their Fine Array" they have taken their music further afield in clubs from Cornwall to Lancashire and the North East and festivals countrywide.
Songlinks
They have been involved with Martyn Wyndham-Read’s "Songlinks", appearing on the CDs and at the premiere concerts at Sidmouth festival and the CD launch concerts at Cecil Sharp House. Their fourth album "Fit For Reclining" received enthusiastic reviews and they are currently planning their fifth which they hope to record later in 2007 - watch this space! (see Discography)
