String Theory are Dave Bottomley, John Platt and Sarah Dobson. They have been the house band at Barnsley Folk Club since 2006 and play a mixture of traditional and contemporary folk, blues and self penned material interspersed with tunes on guitar, mandolin and fiddle.
Lead Vocals are shared by Dave and John. Dave’s songs include the much requested ‘Camper Van Rag’. John’s broad repertoire includes many of the old ballads and covers of contemporary songs. Sarah accompanies on fiddle and backing vocals and may sing lead one day if the others buy her enough beer (this has never happened).
Great believers in bringing traditional songs and music to the
wider public, they have so far resisted having T-Shirts made up
reading ‘no we don't know The Fields of Athenry’
As well as playing gigs and festivals String Theory also run a mean pub session (we are usually found in the family room at the fabulous Station Pub in Whitby during Folk Week) and play for the Spiral Dancers Maypole side, based in Huddersfield along with Eric the Accordionist.

What-ho there, cats and kitten! Thanks for asking us into your folkie fold; many don't, by the way... Broad-minded fellow travellers such as yourselves are always welcome to drop into our decaying theatre of liberalbilly thrills, however - you may find our hospitality a trifle rough-hewn, but it's always sincere... All the best - and keep it gangsta! CrackTown: claiming the moral high ground without ever leaving the sewer since 2003
