Muckram Wakes

[1] The original line up of Muckram Wakes was Roger and Helen Watson plus John Tams.

Their album Map of Derbyshire, on Trailer Records, contributed greatly to the promotion of folk music from that county.

Within two years, Muckram Wakes were a full-time professional outfit, touring Britain and Europe, appearing at folk clubs, concerts and festivals plus radio and television.

In the early 1980s, following the departure of Roger and Helen Watson, the band continued for a short while with John and Suzie Adams joined by Keith Kendrick, Barry Coope and ultimately Ian Carter, all members of the Ram's Bottom Band.

Barry Coope eventually joined the circle by working in duo with John Tams.
