Flats & Sharps

In early 2011, four 17 year-old mates from college thought that maybe they could earn a bit of pocket money by forming a folk/bluegrass band and busking in and around Penzance.

Two months later they were asked to perform for four hours (!) at the opening of a new restaurant at the Lands End Hotel and that is when, through necessity, they started writing their own material to perform alongside folk, bluegrass & country standards with the odd cover of a more contemporary hit thrown in for good measure.

Lands End was just the beginning of the journey for Flats and Sharps and three years on they haven’t stopped writing and performing. Their incredible skill on their instruments -- guitar, mandolin, banjo and double bass -- their luscious harmonies when grouped around a single microphone and their sheer joy at performing such infectious music has won over their audiences.
