Welsh and fiercely proud of it, Sassafras were first formed in 1970 and play a mix of rock 'n' roll, progressive rock and country with the emphasis on harmony. The use of twin guitar solos has always been a distinctive feature of their music.
They hold the UK record for the group performing the greatest number of live gigs in a year.
The band reformed in 2001 supplemented by Marco James on keyboards and without Ricky John Holt. In 2002 took over vocals duties until the band split again in 2004.
