Saul Rose

I'm an English singer and melodeon player. I'd say I'm probably a folk musician. I bought my first Castagnari in 1988 and I've spent several years buying more of them. I've played for 24 years and i still love every noteI started out playing for morris - Northwest and Cotswold and was a 7 Champion for many years. This was a safe place to learn the tradition and the music. With local folk club - The Pumphouse (sadly closed some years ago) - allowing me to play floor spots and develop as a musician, I gained enough confidence to enter the 1991 Young Tradition Award which was a great experience and lead to some solo sessions on Folk on 2. I met Eliza Carthy in 1994 (at the Pumphouse) and i've never looked back! I'm fortunate enough to work with some of the finest musicians in English music, I was a founder member of The Kings of Calicutt and have toured with E2 and The Eliza carthy Band. I continue to dep for Tickled Pink and will be depping for Bellowhead this year.This is who I work with.DansaulEliza Carthy & Saul RoseFaustusLife in the Year with John Dipper & Laurel SwiftMaclaine Colston & Saul RoseMorris Offspring - RisingRandomRuth NotmanThe 3/2 FiveWaterson:CarthyWhapweaselThere are albums out this spring"Faustus" by Faustus"Colour" by Whapweasel"Sand and Soil" by Maclaine Colston & Saul RoseLooking forward to a busy 2008 and hope to see you somewhere this year.Saul x
