Bio
Bill and Terry have been playing together for nearly 25 years, starting out with other band members and sticking it out until the as yet unforseen bittersweet end. Bill is 5'3" and Terry is 6'9" = Stubby Longfellow. They've misspent most of their playing time in pubs, especially when the beer is turned green. Of course, they've played charitable dinners, a dog show, some weddings, and the Hillside Festival in Guelph twice, because they'll play for anyone who will listen.
Bill's extraordinary ability to play anything with strings and remember any song with lyrics is complemented by Terry's love of finding harmonies and melodical solos on any of his whistles, recorders or vocal chords. That they've been the closest of friends for 25 years comes through in their performance, filled with laughs, gibes and antics.
Influences are too varied to list, but include Dylan, Tull, Dubliners, Clancys, Planxty, Kermit, Disney, Tom Waits and Prokofiev.
Stubby Longfellow will be playing in each other's backyards and basements into their 90s, if their misspent youth doesn't catch up with them too quickly.
