Irish Folk / Ceilidh / Barndance Band

Formed to provide the music for Doug Hudson’s stage show, The Hot Rats contain some of the best musicians in the south of England. Their driving folk rhythms feature virtuoso fiddle player Ian Cutler who provided the music for the cult film ‘The Wicker Man’ and has played with superstar band ‘Fairport Convention’. Saxophone, flute and didgeridoo is played by the young Tony Rico whose ‘Snakecharmer’ with the band Carpe Diem was number one in the French charts for seven consecutive weeks. Mike Peters slap and rhythmic bass style is the root around which the band’s music is built and he also provides harmony vocals. Doug Hudson himself fronts the band with acoustic guitar and writes the original songs, The Hot Rats have amassed a cult following in their native county of Kent and with their driving jigs and reels, powerful songs and flamboyant playing they are one of the ‘hottest’ bands around!
