In addition to their work as a duo, Chris and Siobhan are also involved in:

 

Nelsons Wake

 

Nelsons Wake is an occasional venture (for geographical reasons!), with Chris & Siobhan joining up with Southampton-based singer/songwriter/musician Barry Wake. So that's 2 Nelsons and a Wake - hence the lack of an apostrophe in Nelsons Wake!

New album released February 2008. For details click here.

 

"Spine-tingling vocals ... complemented by sensitive fiddle and guitar arrangements ....

A hard act to follow ..."

Kaleidoscope

 

After Loose Screws Appalachian dance team folded in 1999, some of the team formed a new, smaller, team called Kaleidoscope for occasional performances. Chris and Siobhan still perform with them at various gigs, including the team's regular appearances at the Solent Folk Festival.

 

"...for sheer joy and commitment, flair and audience bedazzlement, Kaleidoscope... well and truly took the biscuit.... It was dancing to raise the pulse, and fix a smile on one's face." (Phil Coldham, Folk On Tap)
