Whapweasel find their voices in their long awaited New Album 'Festivalis'.

Since the last decade of the 20th century, Whapweasel have been delighting and exhausting the folk dance enthusiasts of these islands. Over that time they've notched up 5 albums of enthralling, turbo- charged dance music attracting rave reviews and packed dance floors and the accolade of Dance Band Of The Year at the Radio Two Folk Awards. In recent years the band have been moving purposefully into the concert arena and introducing a sprinkling of songs amid the home-grown hornpipes, jigs and polkas.

Their long awaited new album finds them lifting their voices in song for the first time in the recording studio. From the impeccably traditional to the best of the modern folk-based songwriters, 'Festivalis' serves up a bold, innovative synthesis of song and dance. New horizons in Whappery.
