Why Churchfitters? Nobody knows! They’re not fitters and have absolutely nothing to do with churches. The name’s origin is lost in the mists of time but there is one aspect that suits them perfectly - its quirkiness.
When your array of instruments includes a motorcycle petrol tank, a musical saw and a Mercedes Benzouki made from hubcaps, as well as the more conventional fiddle and banjo, there’s little point worrying if the name makes sense!
These three flamboyant characters present their uplifting and entertaining show with a unique dynamism, describing their music as Folk Unlimited. Singer-songwriter Mike Harding calls it “brilliant and beautiful”.
