Threepenny Bit is a unique example of how traditional dance tunes and contemporary sounds can blend together into a totally fresh interpretation of folk music. This raucous eight-piece band combines a group of die-hard folkies with some of the finest young jazz and classical musicians in the south to create an exciting live show you won t forget! After founding and running the Southampton University folk society in 2011 they formed a busking band to take folk music to the streets for a summer holiday. Four years, three albums and a host of successful concert, ceilidh, folk club and festival performances later the band is still going strong! 2014 saw the release of their third album Pantomime Cannon to critical acclaim. @3pennybit
