Having been regulars on the UK bluegrass and old-time circuit for many years, Jeri Foreman & Ruth Eliza made their official debut as a duo at the largest old-time festival in Europe, the Gainsborough Old-Time Music and Dance Festival (England) in February 2023. Drawing on a wealth of stage experience in other acts, Jeri (The
Fountaineers) and Ruth (Blue Lass) have represented old-time at folk and bluegrass festivals across the UK, including Fire in the Mountain (Wales), Gower Bluegrass Festival (Wales) and Moniaive Bluegrass Festival (Scotland). 2024 has seen them play the prestigious Celtic Connections Festival, Sweet Sunny South Festival, Hexham Bluegrass Festival, plus a German tour and the French old-time and bluegrass festival Herbe Bleue. In February of 2024 they did a joint tour in England with their fiddle and banjo kin Old Spot and the four recorded a mini album in one night -

With Jeri based in Glasgow and Ruth in Lancaster, their shows are known for hypnotic and powerful delivery of tunes and songs. Performing a combination of deep cuts from the old-time canon and originals in the traditional style, Jeri and Ruth bring a whole new energy to the classic fiddle and banjo combination.
