The Sugar Loaf Band play in a traditional English style but draw from many sources which are both traditional and recently penned.

They were formed from within Mad Jack's Morris for a ceilidh at which they were dancing at Battle in 2007. This was so successful that they carried on to include other local musicians and have decades of experience between them with other bands such as Banjax and the Catsfield Steamers.

The band takes its name from a folly built by Mad Jack Fuller at Dallington, East Sussex.

They are (from left to right)
  • Nigel Taylor - bass guitar
  • Alan Jeffries - anglo concertina & melodeon
  • Pete Davis - whistle
  • Bryony Leech - violin
  • Lynda Ridley - recorder & percussion
  • Goose - melodeon & harmonica
  • Dave Rimmel - guitar
  • Keith Leech - caller, trombone & melodeon
