Yesterday I had the privilege of seeing this amazing group in action at the Beverley Folk Festival. The weather has not been kind to us for most of the weekend so many people were perhaps feeling a little damp and down, but anyone who saw this group in action on Saturday out by the Craft marquee just had to smile.
A Barnsley group, they were dressed in black and white cow-patterned clothing; their unique style of music featuring assorted wind instruments and drums ( plus the odd PE teacher's whistle) really got the crowd engaged and one or two started swaying to the rhythm and tapping their feet.
And then Frumptarn Guggenband upped their game...
The musicians started to dance wildly, whirling like dervishes, flailing their instruments in the air, just doing their own thing. The crowd became more enthusiastic and it was virtually impossible to avoid being involved, with much tapping of feet, swaying of hips and gyrating.
It seemed that no sooner had the group started than they finished and went off on their way to participate in the evening concert but they lifted the spirits of a lot of people. I look forward to seeing them perform again. True entertainers!
