Flaxen Hill blend acoustic and electric guitars with violin, mandolin, bass and drums. We play covers, but we’re not a covers band. Our repertoire is broad ranging and our sets are an eclectic mix of songs from a variety of genres and artists. We love to add our own style to the songs that we perform so while all will be familiar, some will surprise. We are based in Winchester and have been playing festivals, pubs and events locally for the last 14 years. In that time we have forged a reputation for our engaging, energetic performances.
