Lamb with Andy 2

An exciting combination of instrumental virtuosity & soulful melodies from this well travelled band of musicians!

Spin 2 perform self penned songs & tunes with influences of world folk & popular music to create a
unique alternative roots sound.

A wonderful & eccentric musical history comes out in the quirky observational lyrics & music of Ali Jones & Chris Rudd.

Ali Jones

Fiddle player, singer & accordionist. As a founder member of the ground breaking alternative folk band The Barely Works, fiddle virtuoso Ali toured the world & released four albums to critical acclaim.

Chris Rudd

Lead vocalist, lyricist, bouzouki & guitar player. Heading up cult alt. folk band The Lost T-Shirts Of Atlantis, Chris has toured, recorded (& even busked) in more countries than he can remember, releasing several albums along the way.

Damian Scarr

Upright double bass. With a career that began in bluegrass sessions at the age of thirteen & includes three years on the road with Mad Dog Mcrea, Damian's musicality & experience underpin the Spin 2 sound.

Andy Hatman

Drums. New to the band in 2023 with a background of gigging in the UK & abroad playing blues & funk, Andy adds another element to the band’s unique mix.

Jamie Jones Rudd

The band's very own wandering minstrel! Multi instrumentalist, composer & Bachelor 0f Music Jamie joins Spin 2 on mandolin, guitar & backing vocals whenever he's available & has some time out from his own band, Wesley.
