Varying between 9 and 22 members (currently 14) the band has appeared at Glastonbury and WOMAD, made trips to France and Ireland, and featured in many festivals around the UK. They have also often brought their commitment to benefits and demonstrations for causes ranging from Drop the Debt back to the days of Anti-Apartheid, Nicaraguan Solidarity and the Poll Tax.
