Deep End of The Ford (DEOTF) combine four of the most progressive avant-garde talents in improvised and folk music with the spoken word of Celtic prehistory; to "create a seemingly ancient sound out of instrumentation that is anything but ancient"
They create massively dynamic soundscapes that shift from peaceful melody to turbulent invocations of sorcery and battle.
Possibly their most unique and exciting feature is their reuse of texts from the dawn of Celtic history in their compositions. Their retelling of The Tain sees them use the transcribed texts of the 8th century AD to explode a mythological epic, which was formed in the 3rd C. BC, on the modern senses.
