WemsFest artistic director Mark Ringwood said: “The five-piece group are celebrating their 50th year of taking their Celtic-based blend of Highland pipes, whistles and fiddles to all corners of the world.”

Their Chidham concert marks 40 years since Mark first put them on in London – a rare event for a Scottish-based band at the time.
