Danny and Jojo met at the RNCM in Manchester 95. Ten years later they decided to play some songs together. Early rehearsals in Jojo's front room, and the discovery of a dusty old electric harmonium in a friend's house lead to the formation of the band that ended up taking it's name from that harmonium.

The ep they recorded a year later became the first release on Manchester's Humble Soul label.

Jojo spent the next four years running the hugely successful monthly folk night Hedge at The Carlton Club in Manchester's Whalley Range. Almost every event sold out and lead to a summer festival, Hedgefest.

Last November, Jojo called a close to the Hedge era to concentrate on getting back to writing and performing. There will be new recordings soon!
