Slide (4) were an acoustic band from Leeds playing a mixture of traditional songs and tunes (Celtic/English/American) and original material. Tom Bliss and Derek Magee wrote and arranged tunes, and Tom Bliss and Neil Russell Whitaker contributed songs. The range of instruments speaks for itself, but Slide was not about eclecticism or virtuosity. It was about good Celtic roots music, filtered though 50 years of backbeat, and presented in a refreshing, accessible style that should delight non-folkies just as easily as it satisfies the die-hard trad fan. Slide had a distinctive sound and style somewhere between folk, bluegrass, rock and pop that was uniquely its own, and which put a fresh edge on everything they did.

The members were:

Tom Bliss- Vocals, Guitar, Mandocello, Whistles, Fiddle, Flute

Derek Magee- Fiddle, Uilleann Pipes, Low Whistle, Guitar, Mandolin
