Souls Of Fire

tr, sax, vn,
Musician of Folk

A collision of cultures with a mixture of funk, rock, dance and European traditional music from east to west, Souls of Fire mixed traditional melodies on the frantic klezmer blend of violin, clarinet, sax and trumpet with powerful funky rhythms and trancey dance grooves to create their own highly individualistic sound. Souls of Fire recorded two CDs: a four-track EP entitled Bite Size, released shortly after the band's formation, and a full-length album Firedancing. Souls of Fire were active from 1994 to 2001, and members of the band have gone on to play with Las Patatas Bravas, Skimmington Ride, Atlantico, Louche Manouche and Chien Bizarre. 2001 line-up: Kelly Ager - trumpet Nic Bradford - guitar, vocals and keyboard Duncan Brown - clarinet, tenor sax and keyboard Nick Carson - drums and percussion Andy MacKenzie - percussion and drums Guy Marshall - bass guitar Cath Watkins - violin Former members: Cliff Eastabrook - bass guitar Moira Green - trumpet Teej Osborne - bass guitar
