Currently I am playing in Rumpus (melodeon, concertina and guitar), Backalong (melodeon, fiddle and guitar), and The Offshoot Band (fiddle, guitar and bass guitar). All these bands play dances ,functions and occasional pubs . There is always a caller added to give the dancing instructions. Each band has a different lineup except for me . THe repertoires are largely made up of traditional tunes from the British Isles and Ireland plus some North American stuff. I am also fortunate enough to regularly deputise in the long-running Spinach For Norman which I co-founded and played in for the first 10 years of their existence.
This is what our Ceilidhs look like
Available for weddings, birthdays, barn dances, Burns' Nights and many other occasions. The Caller enables complete novices to have a go at this very social form of dancing. We make it easy for everyone at your event to enjoy themselves
I am also lucky enough to deputise occasionally for " Spinach For Norman " - a band I co-founded in 1986.
Contact me for flexible rates for your event and to discuss options and timings.
