Swamp music from the plains of the deep north of the Isle of Man. All the way from Jurby. The home of the cabbage! The only band from the Mountains of Jurby. Occaisionally performing as a nine/ten piece band (inc.Brass), the band members are all from the north of the Island. The name 'Jurby Mountain Daredevils' was chosen to reflect this. It also gives an opportunity for smart alecs to point out that there are in fact no mountains in Jurby.
The band play simple music deliberatley to allow for the addition of guest musicians without the need for rehearsals.

A young and vibrant addition to the folk scene, Threepenny Bit folk and ceilidh band was formed from an unlikely combination of student-types in Southampton in 2010. Consisting of suitcase percussion, fiddle, flute, guitar and clarinet, they play a wide range of Irish, English, Cornish, Breton and Scottish diddly-dee music with a hint of klezmer! Threepenny Bit set the trend for “Half Price Busking” in the Summer of 2010, when they embarked upon a busking campaign to spread folk music to the four corners of Southern England.
