An eclectic range of music serves as the repertoire of the Yorkshire, England-based Deighton Family. Led by father, Dave, who plays melodeon, harmonica, fiddle and guitar and sings lead, and, mother, Josie, who plays acoustic guitar and bodhran, the seven-piece group blends Cajun two-steps, bluegrass breakdowns, folk ballads, blues and roots rock and roll into their infectious, good-natured, sound. In a review of their second album, Acoustic Music to Suit Most Occasions, released in 1988 and named National Public Radio's "record of the year", ~The San Francisco Bay Guardian wrote, "no matter what mood has hold of you when you approach this approach, the breezy, giddy, feeling will take over".
