Highly versatile multi-instrumentalists performing a wide range of music including traditional folk-dance tunes, contemporary material and miscellaneous musical indulgences.

The Rude Mechanicals, based in Shoreham, Sussex, England, are Barry Ruffell and Ray Chandler as a duo, often augmented by Jeremy Sherman to form a trio. Their musical style is informal, their repertoire extensive and adaptable, and their playing and singing highly distinctive.

Equally at home playing for receptions, business events, in folk clubs, bars, festivals, concerts and private functions. Acoustic or amplified as required.
