Artist Biography
Available in:
"Oysterband" (originally The Oyster Band) is an English electric folk, folk rock, and folk punk band formed in Canterbury in or around 1976. The band formed in parallel to Fiddler's Dram, and under the name Oyster Ceilidh Band played purely as a dance band at first. The name Oyster comes from the group's early association with the coastal town of Whitstable in East Kent, known for the quality of its oysters. Their first album, released under the Oyster Ceilidh Band name, was Jack's Alive (1980).
The band has undergone several changes over the years and currently play with three of the original lineup ,John Jones - melodeon, lead vocals, Alan Prosser - guitars, viola, vocals, Ian Telfer - fiddle, English concertina, vocals and Dilwyn Davies - drums who joined the band in 2007.
