The Durbervilles meld of folk, roots and alt country has been entertaining big eared audiences in Yorkshire and beyond since the turn of the century. They have a reputation for enlivening everything from pure acoustic folk club shows to full scale electric sets on festival stages.



The Durbervilles have brought out three albums to date: Striving To Be Reasonable, The Ballpark Of Expectation (see live rendition of Raining Down from the album at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwWKTaZIk1E) and, most recently, Alternative Route To All Destinations. Distribution through Proper.



Their live set features numbers mostly written by the 3 founder members: Lee Walsh Vocals/12 String guitar/ Mouth organ, mandolin; David P Crickmore Acoustic & Electric Lead Gtr/Dobro/Lap & Pedal Steel/Mandola/Banjo/ B.Vocs / and Mark Boyce drums/percussion/B. vocs The three are complimented by blind ace accordionist/ vocalist Gus Taylor, and double bass player Ruth Wilde.
The Durbervilles are also doing shows in collaboration with Steve Tilston.



RADIO SHOW:
Their reputation for witty banter between numbers at gigs is probably what led to The Durbervilles radio shows on the BBC in Yorkshire.
