Artist History Band members Mark Flett, Watson Mailey and Paul Sullivan have been making music together since 1998. They have recently been joined by new member Tom Kitching. Under the name Keel Over they won the Best Music award at the Buxton Festival Fringe in 1998, touring Germany in the same year and the Czech Republic in 1999. They played the infamous Roscoff St Patricks Day Festival in 2000 and 2001, and have the bite-marks to prove it. They survived to appear at various UK clubs, pubs and festivals, and to record a couple of long lost CDs. In 2000 Keel Over were chosen to represent Derbyshire folk music at a BBC-sponsored Millenium gig. The show was a triumph, and in true rock and roll style the band folded soon Mark and Paul also founded the ceilidh band The Pre-Flight Czechs, who were active on the lucrative weddings and functions circuit at the back end of the last millennium. Watson did a stint in the same band in their latter months, having toured for many years as a solo performer. The Watson & Co concerts in 2001 featured 30 musicians (the Pre-Flights amongst them) and re-captured the Fringes Best Music Award (above) Watsons CV boasts several highs, including Derbys Picnic in the Park (1995, with Hullaballoo), solo performances at The Attic (Chesterfield) and support slots with Jez Lowe and Serious Kitchen. Steal The Recipe show no mercy with their barrage of melody and vocal harmony, and audiences are strongly advised to bring their dancing trousers. Equally at home on the big stage or in a smokey corner of the bar, the band is a firm believer in the idea that if you know how to set a good time to music, you are on to a winner.
