Why Churchfitters?
Nobody knows! Theyre not fitters and have absolutely nothing to do with churches.

Saucepan dulcimer, glass harp, Bing-Bong machine and magic boots all join some more conventional instruments (fiddle, banjo, sax and whistle to name a few) to back Rosie Shorts sublime voice. These three flamboyant characters present their uplifting and entertaining show with a unique dynamism and describe their music as Folk Unlimited. Mike Harding calls it Brilliant and beautiful while Dave Pegg says they are The most musically inventive group Ive seen in decades.
