(L-R) Andrew Burn (melodeons, vocals, Northumbrian small pipes); David Somerville (keyboard, Northumbrian small pipes); Greg Smith (fiddle, viola); Brian Cleary (guitar, vocals, bouzouki).
Camus (named after a village in County Galway) is a traditional folk band, featuring fiddle, melodeon, guitar/bouzouki, keyboard and Northumbrian small pipes. They have national championships in Northumbrian piping (solo, duet and tune composition) among recent successes. They play an exciting mix of traditions, with influences from Northumberland, Ireland and Shetland, a dash of bluegrass and Galician, and their own tunes and songs.
