The first to join were Alberto Morselli, Giovanni Rubbiani and Alberto Cottica (previously in Lontano da dove), Chris Dennis (formerly a member of Nomadi), Filippo Chieli, Franco D'Aniello and Luciano Gaetani from 'Abazia dei folli.

During a concert at a pub in Carpi, Stefano "Cisco" Bellotti sang "The Wild Rover" for the first time.

[2] At this time the Modena City Ramblers became an open company, and have remained so during throughout their history, with almost all members who have left the band returning sporadically to play with the group.

Their repertoire has since expanded considerably, including traditional Italian songs such as "Bella ciao", "Fischia il vento", and "Contessa".

The singer of the group Cisco along with producer Kaba Cavazzuti who also became "a new member of the Modena City Ramblers after changes in the original line-up", released the album of the ‘brother band’ Casa del Vento, titled "900" which came out in February 2001.
