UK based enQ [pronounced 'eee-en-cue'] was formed as the result of a chance conversation between guitarist Brian Heywood and fiddler Vicky Brown. Vicky remarked how it’d be great to get this kind of music out to a wider audience. The "this music" she was referring to was a dance oriented fusion of funk, folk and rock. Brian said "Let’s do it!" and enQ was born.
The band’s name means, well, nothing at all really. The band wanted a name that was easy to remember but didn’t signify anything. Okay, the band is energetic, and noisy and a Quintet but this just a coincidence. Really!
