    Hey Holly! Unfortunately, we haven't recorded anything yet :( but hopefully soon, before Monique goes overseas. I really want to go to Portarlington but couldn't make it cause of my orchestra concert. Oh well, there's always next year :) Ahh! I can't wait to hear it! It was good fun recording it :) Hope to see you sometime soon. Rhiannon

    There once was a fiddler called Chris,
    He liked to eat cheese, it was bliss!
    For breakfast and lunch, he nomed with the Swiss
    Crying, 'Oh my how I miss a kiss from the swiss when noming the cheese that is bliss!'

    Pfft, good work you guys!!! I am at this moment listening to your album :) It makes me so happy! Your gigs were amazing, I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna have to stalk your gigs whenever I can... which might be a little hard considering the geographic separation!
    anyway hope it won't be too long before we see you all, love always, Brigid

Band Bio

Virtuosic instrumental trio The String Contingent compose and perform music of sparkling beauty and originality that explores the full spectrum of musical expression. Australians Chris Stone (violin) and Holly Downes (double bass) with Scotsman Graham McLeod (guitar) integrate disparate musical styles through their own refined acoustic sensibilities.

Drawing from genres including celtic, classical, jazz and bluegrass, The String Contingent burnish their original compositions through the clarity and precision of a meticulous ‘chamber music’ ethos. Their multi-faceted approach results in highly accessible yet sophisticated music that captivates audiences from any genre, while retaining their own unique style.
