Following an afternoon of Bad Influence and The GB's and back at the Grey Horse by popular demand, Australian based contemporary folk band The Blue Mosquitoes, embarking on its second European tour including travelling for 6 weeks between England, Wales and Scotland.The band toured the UK 2 years ago where their music was variously described

as being "startling good musicianship", "implausibly fast", "truly professional beyond their years", "None better in 30 years running this folk club", and "the highlight of the Edinburgh Fringe festival so far".

The Blue Mosquitoes have an energetic, vibrant sound rooted deeply in folk music, with an undeniably Australian character. They have a growing reputation in the Australian and British music scene as an exciting band with a big future.

They are returning to the UK this year for a 24-date tour to launch their new "Live" album "Float Fall Fly". The band have written and performed with the legendary Eric Bogle, performed with Dougie Maclean, and supported Peggy Seeger and The Saw Doctors.

The band consists of: Hannah Foley - vocals and violin, Stuart Foley - guitar and mandolin, Hugh Foley - vocals and banjo, Declan Foley - guitar and bouzouki, Jed Appleton - vocals and bass.

Joining The Blue Mosquitoes across all tour dates will be fellow Australian artist and former Blue Mosquito, Christopher Coleman. A singer/songwriter of uniquely Australian folk rock, Christopher delivers an enigmatic show of storytelling that evokes a spectrum from melancholy hardship, to stories of love and upbeat whimsical gems that will bring an audience into chorus, hand claps, and foot stomps. Like the inspirations Christopher sites as his own - Dylan, Kelly, Cohen, Mumford, Bon Iver, Flanagan, Whitman, Ginsberg and Steinbeck - audiences will be moved and inspired by Christopher Coleman.
