The first CD from the UK based roots fusion band enQ was released in November 2002.
The band was formed as the result of a chance conversation between guitarist Brian Heywood and fiddler Vicky Brown in 2000. Vicky remarked how it’d be great to get this kind of music out to a wider audience. The "this music" she was referring to was a dance oriented fusion of funk, folk and rock. Brian said "Let’s do it!" and enQ was born.
The band’s name enQ [pronounced eee-en-cue], means, well, nothing at all really. The band wanted a name that was easy to remember but didn’t signify anything.
Okay, the band is energetic, and noisy and a Quintet but this just a coincidence. Really!
