The Mad Ferret Band

The Mad Ferret Band are a folk duo from Perth, Scotland, known for their energetic blend of traditional and contemporary folk music. With blisteringly fast mandolin solos, tight vocal harmonies, driving Cajon beats, and earth-moving guitar sounds.

For the past 10 years they’ve excited crowds across Europe with influences from The Corries, The Pogues to Capercaillie and Gordon Duncan. They’ve shared stages with acts such as Dougie Maclean, Manran, Red Hot Chilli Pipers, Tim Edey, Capercaillie, Julie Fowlis, Peatbog Faeries and many of the biggest names on the scene. The duo consists of Sandy Stirton on DADGAD guitar, cajon, and vocals, and Chris Woods on mandolin, acoustic guitar, and vocals.
