Not technically dinosaurs.

Contrasaurus are Alan Brunier (accordion), Benjamin Rowe (fiddle), David Ledsam (bass and jaw harp) and Adam Rich-Griffin (guitar). Alan, Benjamin and Adam met at the University of Warwick Folk Society, and a chance encounter with David at a session started our musical journey as a band. Since 2016 we have enjoyed bookings at many of the top festivals and dance series in the UK.

• Alan Brunier has played accordion for years with anyone willing to listen, most notably with The Night Before and Floot Street.
• Benjamin Rowe the most recent member of the band to graduate from the UoW Folk Society. He can also be seen playing with Bearded Dragons and Knotted Cord.
• David Ledsam can be heard playing cello, basses, concertinas and very occasionally tuba behind many bands. In another life he plays and dances with Stone Monkey Sword Dancers.
• Adam Griffin is their tame guitarist, and also a member of The Night Before. Has a cello and an octave mandolin hidden in a cupboard somewhere, but they haven't seen a stage yet.
