| Marick Baxter |
Marick first became interested in folk music while travelling in his teenage years. His journeys took him to Ireland were
he was lucky enough to meet and learn from tin whistle virtuoso Mary Bergin. He studied whole heartedly for three years and
used this grounding to develop his flute playing. Over the last ten years he has travelled extensively, playing with everyone
he can find in pursuit of more musical influence and knowledge, as well as helping the folk scene in his native town of Bath
to thrive.
He has played in many bands of various styles including folk ,rock, funk, jazz, and reggae bands and is among a minority
of players who are able to use the traditional techniques and style authentically on the Boehm System flute.

as one of the top percussionists in the city which led to him playing kit drums for the Senegal National band. His musical CV is very impressive and he has performed with such people as Peter
Gabriel, Youssou N'Dour and the muppets (yes its true!). He is a
master drummer and is beautifully sublte and creative.

| Louise Baxter |
Louise grew up in Greenwich, London during a creative boom. Her father Harry, a venue promoter and band manager (who brought
such names as Squeeze, Dire straits and Billy Idol to fame,) and her grandparents well respected Jazz musicians gave her a
sound musical grounding. Her grand father Ken Rogers, taught jools Holland to play boogie woogie on the Piano, whilst Pauline
her grandmother used to sing every week in the pub they ran together. This she attributes as her greatest inspiration. By
the time she was 16 she was singing in bands around the very active Deptford and New Cross scene and establishing herself.
After taking time out to raise her children she met and married Marick and they started performing together just about the
same time Inu was forming and needing a singer she was the perfect choice. She is a multi instrumentalist and plays guitar,
piano and flute.
Louise has turned her hand to singing just about everything in her time from Rock, Soul, jazz, blues, gospel folk and
devotional mantras, jumping between styles with ease. Louise has an incredible four octave range and a fantatastic ballance
of power and sensitivity, as well as a creative feel for making traditional songs fresh without threatening their integrity.
Her own songs have been very well recieved by audiences and she continues to write.
