The Mordekkers are amoung the most innovative live bands in the UK today. Based in southwest Wales, this unique four piece mix traditional and original folk tunes played on pipes and mandola, with fresh, modern drum and bass rhythms . The result is an energetic infectious groove that never fails to get audiences dancing.

| “I've been lucky enough to see the Mordekkers many times and yet they still manage to surprise me every time with the heights to which their music soars. The eerie shriek of the Welsh pipes, the mournful wail of the oboe, the driving rhythms of the mandola and, under it all, the throb of the drum and bass section whisk you away to an older wilder landscape of Celtic mists and mountains. Guaranteed to have the audience not only dancing in the aisles but on the seats and anywhere else! Serious Celtic magic!” Ruth Stevenson, Pontardawe Folk Festival organiser |

Many listeners remark on how the band somehow manages to sound primal and ancient, and yet, at the same time, entirely at home in the 21st Century
