Tramps & Horses was born out of a desire to bring Vincent’s poetry to musical harmony. With Deed, the Irish singing storyteller as his muse they played their music around Manchester attracting the talents of Pete’s guitar playing. Tramps & Horses then created Enchanted Brave, a monthly musical night, where for 2 years they drew in their audience and plyed their trade. It was in this time Keith, the long haired Irish man with the fingers of a guitarist and the boots of a bassist arrived fresh from Seattle. also came the sweet addition of Anna, who having replied to an add in the Royal Northen College of Music, brought to the band the soothing sounds of the cello. Neil Fearenside, the rock solid rhythm god, was found in a field in Derby whilst they were looking for a lost guitar, completed the line up. Rising from the ashes of many an incarnation, Tramps & Horses are now a Manchester based band that blend 60s West Coast American style rock with more comtemporary influences to create a unique sound. They have enjoyed success such as BBC radio airplay, T.V. and festival appearances culminating in the recording of their album in a 18th century cottage in Wales. They are an exciting and unique band with an ever growing diverse fan base.

Album Reviews

'.. sometimes they're an Anglicised version of the intense American gothic of Murder By Death, like on 'Solo Man', a cross between Nick Cave and Black Francis, or 'River Rising' with it's sense of impending doom: "The river keeps on rising, this fear, this rage / The river keeps on rising, I guess I'm gonna stay". At other times T&H are delicate and easy on the ear, such as the classic rockisms of the Scullion led 'Fast Flying Plane', which fills the gap in the lineage between The Byrds and Fleet Foxes... some of the best edgy folk around. A golden tapestry indeed.'
