Project: String Fellows

Project Date: 2009
'til 2016

String Fellows began as an informal musical gathering for some blokes that wanted to make music but didn’t want to join a community choir. An eight piece – guitars, upright bass, tenor ukelele, banjo, resonator, suitcase drumkit and eight voices – performing an irresistable array of rock and pop covers and minty originals. All this was done in an at times idiosyncratic but always rocking fashion. Part piss-take but always meaning it.

SFs were particularly renowned for their festival appearances and Christmas Specials, which would include games and snowball fights as well as some great conga lines.

We even got the word ‘rumbunctious’ used about us in a write up in the Huddersfield Examiner when we split up. Respect. Here it is in full
