Musicians
About
Effra are Alex Bishop (guitar), Tom Newell (fiddle, mandolin) and Aidan Shepherd (accordion). Heralding from Bath, Shrewsbury and Canterbury respectively, they met in London in 2011. Although coming from predominantly rock, classical and jazz backgrounds, a strong connection was quickly formed, and they began meeting regularly to write and develop music that shared a common ground.
Early performances were well received, and the band soon grew an identity of its own, fuelled by ideas brought to the table by all three members. In 2012 after only a year since their first meeting, the band won the Bath Folk Festival ‘New Shoots Competition’ on the strength of their compositions and high-energy performance.
