Long running Romsey-based folk band Skimmington Ride has disbanded after
the departure of the longest-standing and only remaining founder member
Keith Newton.

The rest of us, Arthur, Cath, Nic, Mark and Vicki, are taking a short
break and planning to work together on new projects from early 2008.

Skimmington Ride has been around longer than anyone cares to remember
and were most closely associated with the Tudor Rose pub in Romsey where
we had a fortnightly (later monthly) residency for many years. We'd like
to thank everyone who has been with us over the years and look forward
to new ventures and adventures in the future.
