The Senile Delinquents

 

are
Mikki Barry: Banjo and vocals
Kara J Richards: Guitar and vocals,
Lela Mai: Fiddle
 

We deliver a tender blend of cowgirl jazz, with a bluegrass  edge, on a folk  fringed alt-country platter. 
Banjo, fiddle, guitar and deliciously dirty harmony vocals.
We have been working as a band since  Christmas 2011, although Kara and Mikki first played together over 25 years ago when they  lived in horsedrawn caravans,  busked together and played round campfires. After several months they took different roads, Mikki heading down to the West Country where she has played with a bunch of great folk and bluegrass bands including  100th Monkey (folk) and Medicine (folkrock) 

Meanwhile Kara  wnt first to Ireland where she formed The Bold Marys  and then to France and Spain where she played with
The Easy (French Jazz) The Joseph Schnider Set (Croon/Country/Punk) The Soup Queens ( A cappella soul) and Rrradio Gee (Costa del sols leading Trad Irish Wedding Band)
 

Since 2012 Kara and Mikki have been performing as The Senile Delinquents and in 2014 were joined by  virtuoso fiddle player Lela Mai
