Six and twelve-string guitar and banjo

Gin Crewe

Anglo concertina, guitar, bouzouki, harmonium. Also sings with the well-known harmony group Wenchall

Chris Hunwick
Fiddle, mandolin, (in fact plays fiddle (violin for purists!) to grade 8) and piano. Reduces the average age of the band by 12 years!

The original members of the band were all morris musicians. One evening, after strenuous dancing and intaking of liquid refreshment they were asked to provide music for a ceilidh. “But what are you called?  After the usual ribald comments, it seemed a REALLY good idea to call themselves something unusual, hence “Frolicking Pete and the Fumbling Fingers Concertina Ceilidh Band”-  really trips off the tongue, doesn’t it? They  did think they  were just going to do the one ceilidh...and that was twenty years ago!

Members of the band have played and sung in various line-ups over the last 30 years (wow– really so long...scary!) including Priory, Brillig, Millstone, Clitheroe Country Fayre Ladies, Clitheroe Morris men, Bobbins and Reelers  and  Galloway.

Currently  Alex  and Keith play with “Corrigan,” Gin  sings with Janet Lynch and Emma Gill in “Wenchall” and Chris is a founder member of “The Swinging Sporrans”!
