Equation (band)

Equation were a British, young Devon-based folk band formed in 1995, to combine the core talents of the Lakeman Brothers with Kathryn Roberts and Kate Rusby, later replaced for a spell by Cara Dillon.[1] The band remains an unsung supergroup of the contemporary British folk rock scene of the 1990s, as its members went on to become award winning recording artists in their own right.[2]
