The Stillhouse Orchestra are the creation of Miss Tia Maria and Rib Eye Jake. The music is a fairly obscure mix of bluegrass and country through to mellow swing and blues thanks to the varied musical tastes of Maria and Jake. The band have been playing live for over 2 years in venues ranging from cabaret clubs and acoustic bars to the Regents Park Bandstand and retro and swing dance nights. We have played the last 2 glastonbury festivals and have more festival bookings coming up.
The set can vary from a laid back mix of classic swing and blues covers and original songs to a foot stomping raucous hoedown or, as most gigs are, a happy blend of the two.
Although based around these 2 musicians the band is often expanded with the addition of Nathan Gallagher on piano or hammond and other friends who come and play with us
The Stillhouse Orchestra would love to hear from anyone organising events who may be interested in the band playing, from public cabaret, music and club nights and summer festivals to private parties and events.

The Kittiwakes - CD Launch - Clerkenwell 22nd June
Leigh-on-Sea 3-piece, The Kittiwakes, celebrate the release of their Midwich Records debut, ‘Lofoten Calling’, a collection of original folk songs written about the people, landscape, folklore and history of the Lofoten Islands above the Arctic Circle and influenced by the traditional music of Norway and the British Isles.
'The Kittiwakes craft timeless and magical acoustically dappled folk treats - gentle and alluring ostensibly Gaelic in sound texture and gorgeously flighty braided as they are by corteges of mandolins, accordions and violins.' [LOSING TODAY]
'The Kittiwakes (rissa tridactyla): delicious, intriguing and evocative music, beautifully played and sung by this talented trio. Recommended to twitchers and lovers of folk music alike' [LEIGH FOLK FESTIVAL]
