RMT Music Productions Presents Effra & Galleons

Effra:
Heralding from Bath, Shrewsbury and Canterbury
respectively, Alex Bishop (guitar), Tom Newell (fiddle, mandolin) and Aidan Shepherd (accordion) met in London in 2011. Early performances were well received, and the band soon grew an identity of its own, fueled by innovative ideas brought to the table by all three members. In 2012
after only a year since their first meeting, the band won the Bath Folk Festival ʻNew Shoots Competitionʼ on the strength of their compositions and high- energy performance. In 2014 they released their debut album, ‘Lose An Hour’ and toured extensively through 2015 with performances at, BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’, Cambridge Folk Festival and EFEx/Homegrown festival.
