Drollz re-imagined !

DROLLZ

New Music. New Line-Up. Back On Stage.

2025 was a landmark year for Drollz.

We were thrilled to welcome two exceptional new musicians to the band: Tim Woolley on lead guitar and Jadie Carey on electric bass, upright bass and cello. Their creativity and musicianship have opened up exciting new musical directions, bringing fresh energy to both our live performances and our recordings.

We have had 3 wonderful nights performing recently.  Our return to the stage at the Red Lion Folk Club in February 2026 was a fantastic night, with a full house and a wonderful welcome from friends and music lovers.

This was followed by a short set at The Jam House and a full performance of all the original songs in our two new albums at The Dark Horse in March 2026.  We were delighted with such a warm reception from the large crowd at both venues.  Watch out for the live videos - we had a lot of fun making them!

Behind the scenes we’ve also been busy in the studio, working closely with producer Ade to craft two brand-new albums that we’re incredibly proud of.

Coming Soon

Memories for Company
Reality is Inconvenient

Our next live performances will be scheduled after Kayt returns from maternity leave.
