2006 Saw the birth of what has proven to be perhaps the most original and exciting duo to appear on the British acoustic scene in recent years..... Announcing their arrival into the genre of Nu-folk acoustic with such unrivalled originality, THE DEALERS perform songs from their first two entirely self penned albums, “LISTEN” (2006) and “TRINE TO THE CHEATS” (2007). In addition to their own critically acclaimed material, audiences are indulged with numerous covers ranging from Leadbelly to Leonard Cohen, Billie Holiday to Tom Waits and John Prine to present day!....... THE DEALERS have made in excess of 200 performances to date ranging from small venue intimate acoustic sessions to some of the largest UK festivals. Please browse their past performance list and feel free to contact any venue for an unbiased opinion of their live performance!.......... Amongst the many accolades to come their way, THE DEALERS were voted “Best Unsigned Acoustic Act in Britain” by Playmusic Magazine and were presented the top award at The Rochester Sweeps Festival Folk Competition. Within the last two years, THE DEALERS have also received extensive airplay on local radio stations across Australia and the USA and have had two shows dedicated to them on BBC Radio. Further recognition of their song writing talent came in the form of their own track, “COST”, being requested to appear on Neil Young’s “LIVING WITH WAR” website.
