The five-time Radio 2 Folk Award Winners Oysterband are fronted by John Jones, who lives at Titley near Kington, and have had band members from all over Europe.
Ìý
They're about to embark on a Danish and German tour - but it all began as a Ceilidh band at a school where John was teaching.
Ìý
He says: "I survived school thanks to good teachers - and was the first of my family to get to university. After football, music was my big love, particularly Northern Soul."
Ìý
During University, John fell in love with British traditional music and learned melodeon: "I morris-danced, wore collarless shirts and generally tried my best to become an old man before my time!"
Ìý
He then became an English teacher, was promoted to the head of year and formed the Oyster Ceilidh Band where he took on the role of singer and went full-time into music.
