The Mad Ferret Band
Contemporary Scottish Folk Duo, Perth, Scotland
“Energised, Supercharged Contemporary Folk”
Daily Record
Blending traditional and contemporary folk music, their lively energetic performances are packed with “blisteringly fast mandolin solos”, “tight vocal harmonies, driving Cajon beats and earth-moving DADGAD guitar sound scapes.”
The Mad Ferret Band have been compared to The Corries, The Dubliners and The McCalmans. Playing alongside acts like Dougie MacLean, Skerryvore, Mànran & Peatbog Faeries.
Heard on BBC Radio Scotland. They’ve also performed at many festivals including Celtic Connections, Eden Festival in the Scottish borders, DingsDo in the mountains of Italy and Kelburn Garden Party with bands like Shooglenifty. And a proud sell-out show supporting Red Hot Chilli Pipers at Perth Concert Hall in their home town Perth, Scotland.
“A distant cousin of Shooglenifty and Real Ale Reels, which is loaded with an afterburn”
Folk Radio UK
They’re continually writing & recording new music with 5 album releases, many of which have been recorded live with more projects on the way for 2023. Over 2K fans stream their music on Spotify every month.
