'Bow Creek' is a long-established folk band best known for creating unique arrangements of both traditional and folk inspired music from around the world. Hailing from Holland, Ireland and England, they are now based in the West Country of the U.K. 

From festival stages to intimate venues, they entertain a wide range of audiences in their original, relaxed style, making for

a great atmosphere whatever the occasion or audience.

The band are multi-instrumentalists and draw inspiration from childhoods immersed in the folk tradition, Celtic origins, folk dance, songs of the sea and progressive folk-rock. 

In an interview with BBC6 Music's Steve Lamaq, Kathie alluded to her earliest experiences of folk music performance; at age seven, she regularly found herself sitting at the back of an Irish pub while her parents performed, before she took the floor with an Irish reel. 

As individuals, they each have a rich and interesting musical history, having played  thousands of gigs with appearances all over Europe, on T.V. and radio and on numerous CDs. Two of the band are featured in the Guinness Book of World Records for musical achievement.

Bow Creek perform regularly with a varied programme each year; Music and maritime festivals, Cornwall Folk Festival, Sidmouth International Folk Festival, Falmouth International Shanty Festival, Teignmouth Folk Festival, Pirate Festivals, Heritage Festivals, The Tall Ships Race, Plymouth Ocean City, Waterfront Live, County Shows, and not forgetting frequent pub gigs, regattas and weddings. Join Bow Creek at one of their many forthcoming appearances.
