Other highlights include GuilFest; Lakefest festival Folkwoods, Holland; the Glastonbury Festival, the Trowbridge Village Pump Festival; Folk Segovia, Spain; Lorient Interceltic Festival, France; Kevelaer World Music Festival, Germany; Labadoux Festival, Belgium, Buskers Bern Street Festival in Switzerland, and enthusiastically welcomed returns to the Beautiful Days, Bearded Theory, and Larmer Tree festivals.
Throughout the 2000s, the band were a regular support act for The Levellers, with Roberts usually returning to join The Levellers onstage for the finale in a dueling fiddle-off of "What You Know" with added tambourine from Waters and tin-whistle from Ashton.
The band have enjoyed airplay on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio Ulster, BBC Radio Cornwall, and BBC Radio Wales, and have been described by presenter Mike Harding as "a brilliant band... absolutely amazing".
