The Zetland Players

Singing, swinging and perennially grinning, The Zetland Players are currently waging a three man campaign to wrest acoustic music away from those that whine, to those that want to have a good time.

Through an innovative blend of double bass, acoustic and electric guitars, harmonica, harmonies and anything else that takes their fancy, The Zetland Players prove that 3 men is enough for a party. Decidedly English yet unafraid of adventure, their constantantly expanding body of original material brings the rich transatlantic traditions of Folk, Pop, Swing and Rock and Roll right up to date.

The Bank Holidays

From the band's site (http://www.thebankholidays.com/the_story.html)
It begins in the small Norwegian fishing town of Stavanger, as two members of The Bank Holidays spend their days playing badminton, enjoying fjords, and hanging out with Norwegian grandparents, all while listening to Norway's favourite musical sons Kings of Convenience. These factors result in a song, and the idea for a band whose primary occupation is vocal harmonies and melodies of the highest order.
