Handpicked

About HandpickedWhen you think of fiddles, mandolins and banjos, what music do you think of? Folk, country, bluegrass? Anything can happen, depending on the influences the players bring to the mix. Steve Passfield's Handpicked Band combines the infectious personal side of country music with the traditional sounds of Celtic and then infuses them with the contemporary influence of rock and funky syncopation. Along with a touch of forgivable idiocy and a stirring grasp of the entertainment ethic, Handpicked have their audiences dancing and foot tapping into the night. More than a decade of performance has given birth to three fine CDs and a string of awards in National Band Competitions. With the ability to deliver credible and engaging performances in both genres, Steve Passfield's Handpicked Band has an unfair advantage in winning over audiences at both Country and Folk festivals. |
