Ooh look, you're here. Hello. We're The Chair. Yes, yes, we know: Why such a boring name? Suffice to say, we're not proud of it, but enough people have lied and told us they like it, so we've stuck with it. Let's face it, it's a lot less scatological than The Stool.

So, yes, The Chair. From Orkney. Celtic Connections once said we “combine a benignly hedonistic version of Viking berserker spirit with a formidable breadth of musicianship”. We quite liked that.

Oh, and there are eight of us. Not only quality, but quantity as well. Bargain.
