A seven-piece all acoustic band with banjo, mandolin, fiddle & harmony vocals, the STFU perform with soul and beauty on their murder ballads and laments and tear it up with their Hootenanny sawdust-kickers and high energy sound.

Receiving airplay from the likes of Bob Harris & Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 2, live appearances on National RTE TV (The View) & Radio 4’s Loose Ends, plus praise for their music in the Sunday Times, Guardian and Independent has seen the band light up the folk music scene.
