BIOGRAPHY
Many moons ago, Chris, Paul and Chis were born in Sheffield. For decades they made a tremendous din playing rock music in bands such as Haze, World Turtle, Three-Legged Cat, Strongheart, Treebeard, and CPF. Less moons ago, sisters Cat and Ceri were born in Wales. In their earlier years they amused themselves by morris dancing, and playing folk music with bands Derwenna, Hiraeth, the Elastic Band, the Mountain Oyster Band, and Here Be Dragons. In the summer of 2006, Ceri spent many long weeks as a solitary goat-herdess. The loneliness drove her to insanity. She began talking to herself, and to the trees, the tree-seedlings, the sheep and the goats. One evening as she sat by her camp-fire, the feeling came over her that she was destined to be in a folk/rock/ceilidh band, with some men from sheffield twice her age. And thus was born The Outlandish Knights.

Quotes:

'Thanks for a great night' private gig, The Wadsley Club, Sheffield, November 2006
'Fruit beer's great, it's like beer, but fruity' Ceri, Christmas 2006
'Much merriment throughout the evening, the band created a superb upbeat atmosphere and Fairytale of New York was an excellent finish to a wonderful night! The audience revelled and caroused in the xmas spirit and left with gladdened hearts! Thanks everyone, you were brilliant! Great guys, great music, great beards!' Jenny Sides, gig at the Lantern Theatre, Sheffield, December 2006
'Carrots of the Pirabbean' Ceri, Christmas 2006

Hark! Fair knights of yonder sheffield towne. Thy tunes that spilleth forth summon adventure and conjure a cusp of curiosity. . .I pray, tell, when shall more we hear?

Anon, oh outlandish ones
