Skylark’s music falls into four broad categories, highlighted in these 2025 videos below.  All were recorded live on one long day at the end of 2024. There are no edits for overdubs, if you hire us – what you see is what you get!
We can easily play an entire night’s music from any one of theses genres  or mix and match (our favorite).
