Rack and Ruin are a Warwickshire based folk-rock five-piece band playing a mixture of loud and lively folk-rock: fiddle driven traditional songs and tunes and jigs and reels – with added saxophone.
Rack and Ruin are just as comfortable headlining a large music festival or performing at a wedding, birthday, house concert or other private party. Their contemporary blend of lively folk rock, celtic, roots music is interwoven with foot-tapping jigs and reels that makes for an enjoyable and entertaining event.

KC Jones
KC Jones are Karen Killeen-Jones (award winning songwriter) and her husband Colin Jones, both experienced singers and musicians.
They come from Nuneaton in Warwickshire and perform mostly original songs, but also some traditional and contemporary covers, with instrumentation such as guitar, mandolin, accordion, melodica and whistle.
Known for their catchy and thought provoking songs, fine vocals and close harmonies, and sense of humour, an entertaining set is always promised from this folk duo.
Their second album, “Roots”, featuring such guest musicians as Keith Donnelly and Lauren South, has received critical acclaim, as has Karen’s solo EP, “A Woman’s Work”.

Emma Langford
Emma is a Black Country wench that performs laid back classic sing-along songs and some self-penned songs.
She has done a few guest nights at Brewood Folk Club, and regularly does support for Pete Kelly at the Red Lion Folk Club.
There will be some interesting Tipton stories and a lot of laughs, but most importantly, everyone will be able to talk Tip’n by the end of the noight.

Pete Kelly
Pete Kelly was a professional musician. Now retired, (ha, ha) he still likes to keep his hand in.
He’s actually been playing for over sixty years, and in that time has developed a truly polished style.
He is a member of Wild Irish, and plays regularly in the Midlands and beyond.
A member of “Team GB” athletics a few years ago, he can certainly take any hurdles in his stride. (Sorry.)
