SKYHOOK: skyhook

Breathtaking twin fiddles combined with sublime guitar, bouzouki and voice. skyhook shift seamlessly between driving dance music and spine-tingling songs, and play with a joy and precision that's hard to match.

Formed in Autumn 2005, skyhook have performed to rapt audiences in the UK and Germany. Check out www.skyhookmusic.com for reviews of some live gigs and of the album, which has been generating much interest from specialist press and radio broadcasters.

"We've been having lots of fun playing at various festivals as well... Bromyard, Brigg fiddle festival, Wimborne, Off the Tracks, Wheaton Aston, Wath, Cwlwm Celtiadd, Gower, Broadstairs, Sheffield... all very well received, and we're really looking forward to the next series of gigs. Our CD album can be bought from our website and a few shops (details on our website), and MP3s are now available to purchase from cdbaby... "
