Haddo

BBC Folk Award nominated Will Pound has teamed up with Nicky Pound to form Haddo. Combining rich and exotic melodeon harmonies with the dark tone of the viola, they delight in taking well known tunes and twisting them 180 degrees. Together, Will and Nicky create an individual take on popular traditional songs and tunes, as well as self penned compositions. Never the same twice and guaranteed to raise the roof.
