Lord Strange began playing together (on fiddle, guitar and accordion) since 2011 and, very soon, became a successful act at home in London as well as across the country. Fusing together the influences of jazz, classical and gypsy music into a high energy folky package they won Bath Folk Festival's New Shoots competition the following year.
The band's recent successes have included a few BBC radio slots in anticipation of their debut album. Lord Strange now perform regularly at folk festivals including Cambridge and Bath and at venues up and down the country. They are also frequently booked to provide entertainment for events; recent clients include the Royal Horticultural Society as well as many private individuals.
As well as playing their own original folk inspired music, Lord Strange also perform traditional tunes from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland in addition to repertoire from Appalachia, Scandinavia, the Balkans and elsewhere.

Wonderful music; delightful musicians!
Anna booked Lord Strange for their event in Dorset • August 2023
“Tom and the rest of the band were just lovely. I booked Lord Strange for my husband's post-funeral celebration party and wanted upbeat music. Tom discussed what I wanted with me beforehand and once he knew my views, I left it to him to decide the set list and I wasn't disappointed. My guests loved them too..they had a great time singing and dancing along.”
