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.

Howard Donald

Howard Paul Donald (born 28 April 1968 in Droylsden, Manchester, England) was one fifth of the hugely successful 1990s English boyband Take That.
