The Bully Wee Band

Originally formed in the early 70s by brothers Jim and John Yardley, the Bully Wee Band is a folk group with Irish roots, which successfully toured Britain, Europe and America through several line-ups until the last one of Ian Cutler, Fergus Feely, Colin Reece and Maartin Allcock finally called it a day in 1983. The reformed 20 years later after a chance meeting between Messrs Cutler, Feely and Reece in a very spirited jam session at Faversham Folk Club in Kent, and a subsequent decision to put a three piece Bully Wee Band back on the road in January 2004. They decided to repeat the experience the following January, only this time with the addition of Bully Wee founder member Jim Yardley. Thus the current line up of Ian Cutler, Fergus Feely, Colin Reece and Jim Yardley was complete and reunited.
