Skylark are based on the Dorset and Hampshire border, and perform across the South coast and beyond.
Forming in 2014 as an acoustic duo, they were soon performing at venues that include The Italian Villa (Sandbanks), Ascot Race Course, The Larmer Tree (Salisbury), Kings Arms Hotel (Christchurch), Deans Court (Wimborne) and Burley Manor (New Forest) to name but a few.
As word on Skylark quickly spread, the duo started playing as an acoustic trio with added Cajon and percussion, and in 2018 they began collaborating with an amazing Saxophonist to offer a really exciting trio and full band.
Please see below details on the different Skylark line ups.
Acoustic Duo - Vocals and Acoustic Guitar
Acoustic Trio - Vocals , Acoustic Guitar & Cajon/Percussion
Electric Trio - Vocals, Guitar & Saxophone (High quality backing tracks are used to give a full band sound.)
Based in Wimborne, Dorset
