Bateleurs are an exciting four piece band who blend Folk, Rock & Alt.Country music. Central to the sound is the distinctive duel lead vocals & harmonies of Daryl Ball & Sean Amor. Daryl’s vocals are smooth with an Irish inflection, Sean’s voice is tender with a plaintiff, jagged edge, which cuts right through and suits their music perfectly. They are accompanied by experienced musicians Chris Mac and Nick Wall. To create the authentic sound, Bateleurs employ numerous instruments in addition to the standard Guitar, Bass & Drums. These include Mandolin, Fiddle, Ukulele, Harmonica, Recorder, Jawharp & Cajon. The bands set is delicate in parts, raucous in others but the intensity in each song, matched by the band’s obvious delight in entertaining, never waver with a change in style or tempo. This superb level of musicianship, allied to a hypnotic set list will thrill and enthral in equal measure.
Bateleurs released an EP of original material in May 2010 to favourable airplay and positive reviews. “New Day Rising EP” is available for download on iTunes and Amazon. Recording is almost complete for Bateleurs debut Album in September 2011.
