From Across the Pond: FATEA Magazine review of CtG 

"Every single track is just bursting with good-time feel, and it’s impossible to do justice in words to the tremendous, intricate musicianship that brings new ideas to the old music. Allison’s banjo chops take her from the driven to the generously understated, and sparkle especially when in direct partnership with Bruce’s fearsome fiddling. Stash’s riffs and fills can seem a touch strange, but they fit into the ensemble really well and considering his background in punk/metal he shows himself here to be a commanding yet sensitive exponent of the guitar.. . .iin truth there’s never a dull moment, every track sparks, so you really do need to hear this music for yourself, it’s brilliant." FATEA Review of Closing the Gap - David Kidman

See you way up north or way down south, or way west?

We’ll be starting way up in Rosehall in the Highlands on May 24, and then hanging around over that weekend to play at the second Arisaig Americana Music Festival. Working our way all the way down to London with some shows and then back to western Wales for the Fire In The Mountain Festival.

Brand new Mountain Drifters! CLOSING THE GAP - is now AVAILABLE 

"Closing The Gap" is a snapshot of the Mountain Drifters after a period of intense touring, of learning each other’s “isms” and instincts, and as a result slowly developing our collective “isms” and instincts as a unit. This album is MMD in our natural and instinctual state of BEING; raw, playful and free, the way the music is meant to be. The music is hopeful and optimistic and comes from the heart, and so we start the story off with this: “There’s a bright side somewhere, ain’t gonna rest until I find it,” . And we look at the world all around us, and that thought continues to resonate, The title track Allison de Groot's “Closing the Gap”  feels like a race. Each note tries to catch up with the next, narrowing the gap and steadily propelling the tune from one section to the next. . .
