Surf Folk hits the Demo Mission Derby with...


Under the Driftwood Tree are a five piece surf style folk band using fantastic vocal harmonies along with the usual and “not so usual” instruments – ukuleles, didgeridoos, guitars, bass, djembe, cajon and accordion.

Under the Driftwood Tree is made up of Chris Stoodley, Kathryn Shanahan, Robbie Price, Alex Perry & Samuel Griffiths and are based in Cardiff.

Their “bohemian sound fills you with an enormous sense of well being; the rugged and rusty vocals transform the songs into mini-tales that explain a whole notion of concepts and simple philosphies” according to surface unsigned judges.
