The Wheeze and Suck Band are a five piece group featuring guitars, mandolins, fiddle, melodeons, percussion and vocals, performing an exciting mix of traditional, contemporary and original 'roots' music. These costumed 'mad hatters' sing rousing sounds and soulful ballads in exquisite four part harmony and play high energy instrumental dance tuns which can often lead to audience participation and revelry. Over the past ten years, the 'Wheezers' have played in most major Folk Festivals and Folk clubs as well as weddings, corporate functions and special events.

The Wheeze and Suck Band are, Ian 'The Pump' Macintosh, John 'Red Tips' Milce, Tony 'Pyro' Pyrzakowski, Geoff 'Woody' Woodhead and Nigel 'Muddy' Walters.

"A Wheeze and Suck performance is an experience not to be missed! Colourful costumes, heaps of audience participation, sporadic outbreaks of dancing, and the occasional foray into the audience mid-song marks a band who lives by its belief that their music is built around a shared experience with their growing legion of supporters."

Last time they were here one of their members was ill and wasn't able to perform. Here is a YouTube clip from that concert which demonstrates the gentler side of the Wheezers.

This time all five of them will be here to really blow the roof off Humph Hall! :-)
