The Hurd comprises three musicians - Christine Truman, Steve Lock and Steve Smith - from different backgrounds and an
instrumental line up including hurdy-gurdy, bassoon, soprano sax,
guitar and recorder.
The Hurd has forged a unique sound that ranges from the sweetly tender
to the positively raucous.
