The Midges are Matt Regan and Chris Ruffoni, two guitars and two voices singing bittersweet, engaging songs about tripping through the Yorkshire Moors.

Formed in 2023, they are self-releasing their debut album ‘Not Knowing The Words‘ , an understated indie folk album with hypnotic guitar patterns and poetic lyrics.

Matt is from Belfast, Chris from Leicester, and both are based in West Yorkshire.

’Not Knowing The Words’ released 30/06/23 and can be streamed here
’Here, here, here’ is the lead track and can be streamed here
