There and Back Again Cambridge, UK
There and Back Again is probably the world’s only Folk Piano Trio (Piano, Whistle and 'Cello). We take a classical piano

Our style is semi-improvisatory; we take a tune, give it a chord sequence and then improvise. Our tunes are chosen because we like them and think that they have some sort of intrinsic musical merit.
