In 2000 Cass & Rob started playing at The Royal Oak, Malborough, South Devon,
which has a regular Folk session on a Wednesday and used to have an open mike
session on a Sunday for more contemporary music. They were greatly encouraged by
the landlord, Jim Carr, and other friends, so started to branch out to other
local venues such as:
 |
Malborough Music Festival |
 |
Aveton Gifford's 'GiffStock' |
 |
Kingsbridge Extravaganza |
 |
The
'groovy' Pig Finca Cafe |

rounded musical career being involved in several genres from experimental and
world to rock and blues. Pete was impressed with the

in remixing four numbers and creating a n additional one based on the
inspiration from the band. Pete's remix CD is available as part of the "The
River" double CD.
Glen Taylor has played in many bands over the years and at present is
involved with the Bad Knees Blues Band. He has brought a new depth to the Cass
Ford Band.
