Berkana are singer-songwrtiters Neil Benton and Terry Armitage and vocalist Lou Finch who love to perform traditional, contemporary and self-penned folk material. Together they perform an ever expanding list of traditional-idiom material on a variety of instruments, featuring their own arrangements and unaccompanied close harmonies. Combined with their interpretations of more contemporary songs they also entertain with some highly original material of their own.

They have played local folk clubs and festivals, pubs and private parties and are always interested in new gigs and venues, charity/promotional gigs included.

WE NEED TO PLAY. WE'D LOVE YOU TO LISTEN! .. Acoustic Rotherham 2:

This is what the Mashers said about us! Thanks guys!:

"And remaining within the traditional genre Berkana. What can anyone really say about the amazing standard of their harmony, singing traditional songs that do not see the light of day enough. This was a professional performance par excellence."

Hi folks

Thanks for the add. Good luck for the Red Shed - it can be a bit of a squash in there!

Look forward to seeing you play again sometime - those harmonies are wonderful.

A big THANK YOU for your brilliant contribution to Acoustic Rotherham 2 on Sunday 25th January.

I hope that you enjoyed the experience and the afternoon of music.

We learnt one or two new lessons from the Hiring Fair and will be making one or two what we hope will be positive changes for the April show.

After playing your songs to my son, he said and I quote "well they aren't as good as Good Charlotte, but they're still very good".

Praise indeed!!
