"The reworking is quite an organic process and it is led by the repertoire," says Dr Faustus' Rob Harbron of his band's modern interpretation of traditional folk tunes.

"We haven't got a fixed way of doing it. There are some things in our repertoire that we haven't touched at all but other things are more extensively re-written."

With Jim Moray lighting up the stage last week, tonight Folk Now brings us Dr Faustus. Made up of four likely lads, including a former Young Folk Award-winner Tim van Eyken, the group released their debut album, The First Cut, last year.

The band rework traditional English folk while staying loyal to its heritage, as well as performing their own compositions.

"Most of it is traditional material we may have slightly reworked," says Rob Harbron. "But there are a few new compositions that are written in the mould of a traditional English tune but are a bit more 'us'."

Arriving after the folk revival of the Sixties has long come and gone, the group's youth gives them a fresh approach to the style and content of traditional English folk.

Harbron is quick to dash assumptions that traditional music is dated.

"All the stuff we do is rooted in the English tradition but that doesn't mean it sounds old and dusty. We play it as new music and we make it our own," he says.

"We don't worry about the words sounding contemporary - in fact, it's often nice to have something that's timeless."
