WELCOME

Banter live on the main stage at ‘A Celebration Of Sidmouth Folkweek’ 2021

“Banter were absolutely fantastic… such beautiful harmonies and great playing”

– Ralph McTell

“Featuring percussion, trumpet, Melodeon and keyboards. Banter are infectious… genre hopping… mixing Morris tunes, soulful vocals and raucous chorus songs into a concert headliner”

– Steve Knightley (Show Of Hands)

“Banter have opened a new chapter with their exciting take on basically English dance music”

–  Ashley Hutchings

“A splendid disregard for musical boundaries, but with a respect for English traditional music”

– Songlines Magazine – 4 star review

“Think Bob Cann meets La Bottine Souriante and you might be getting somewhere close”

– John Spiers (Spiers Boden, Peter Knight’s Gigspanner, Bellowhead)

“…Imaginative combination of musical styles and inventive playing…”

– Joe Grint (FATEA Magazine)


NEW ALBUM!!

Our NEW (4th) album is now well underway! We can’t wait to bring it into the world!! We recorded, once again, at the amazing Far Heath Studios in Northamptonshire with the acclaimed, brilliant and unflappable ‘Whispering’ Angus Wallace. The album is now being mastered by the hugely talented Nick Cooke and artwork / track notes are being put together by Nina and Tim. Keep coming back for more news…
