e2K
made its name as one of the most exciting bands on the UK folk scene,
with a formidable reputation as a live act and festival favourite,
having re-invented itself from its previous incarnation as EII and
the Red Hot Polkas. The original band was primarily known as a dance
band but the addition of Kellie While on vocals has produced a great
fusion of folk, world, jazz and dance influences. Kellie is without
question one of the rising stars of the British folk movement.
