Spin2
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.
John Gallagher
Bass player. Bradford born, John has been playing bass since he was 15 with a variety of different bands of many genres. John is also an accomplished guitarist and singer/songwriter.
Seth Winfield
Drums. Exeter boy, Seth has been playing drums for 10 years in a variety of different bands. He loves playing across all genres because there’s always something to learn…but his heart is in technical metal.
Jamie Jones Rudd
The band’s very own wandering minstrel! Multi instrumentalist, composer Jamie joins Spin 2 on mandolin, guitar & backing vocals whenever he’s back in Devon and has some time out from his own band, Wesley.
