Based in Canterbury in the south-east of England, Waterhorse is comprised of Terence Reis on vocals and guitars, Sarah Nicholls on vocals, Emily Wassell on violin, Dudley Ross on guitars, Richard Bates on bass and Paul Townsend on drums and percussion.
Offered both an Artists Agreement with Line 6 and a sponsorship deal with BOSE, the band has been steadily building a following in their native Kent and this year was invited to the 2006 Bournemouth Music Festival, headlined by Bob Dylan. During the summer they also played, for the third year running, a packed out performance at Folk Week in Broadstairs.
In London they have played, amongst others, venues such as The Troubadour, The Catapult Club, The Bedford Arms, West One Four, The Brixton Telegraph and Blackheath Halls. They opened for James Carrington in his showcase for EMI, Sony and Atlantic Records at Bush Hall in Shepherd's Bush. At the historic 100 Club, they were asked to open for both Jerry Fish and The Mudbug Club and Terra Folk.
More recently the band has been playing regular shows at Oliver's Jazz Bar in Greenwich and a growing following and reputation for quality material, musicianship and powerhouse performances have ensured continued appearances around Kent and London.
With a distinctive fusion of roots, Celtic, blues, folk and rock, Waterhorse is carrying the torch for the lyric-driven tradition of the singer/songwriters and storytellers. From Sheryl Crow, Bob Dylan, Neil and Tim Finn, Justin Currie, Shawn Colvin, Roger Waters, Ian Anderson, Mark Knopfler, Deacon Blue, The Beautiful South, Mike Scott, Roddy Frame and Sting, the list is endless and enviable to the ever-growing catalogue of more recent artists such as Badly Drawn Boy, David Gray, Kate Rusby, Tom Baxter, KT Tunstall, Damien Rice and Thea Gilmore.
