Andy Dinan (The Bad Shepherds) and Ian Fletcher (Future Trad Collective) teamed up to make an album that brought together their many musical influences. Using old traditional tunes, new compositions and heavy percussion, they produced an album of great energy and drive. Richard Sliwa (Inner Space)and Jon Thorne (Lamb) coming on board to provide the rhythm section – it seemed perfect sense to form a band Ducie and release an album Mancunia.
