A very experienced barn dance and ceilidh band based in the Oxford area,with a flexible line-up, drawn from the membership of one of the top Festival ceilidh bands. The Festival 5 piece line-up (plus caller and sound engineer) is often too much for smaller local events where space for the band, time to set up, and,perhaps,money, are at a premium. So,with just three musicians plus caller, and a sma...

We first spotted Simon playing the melodeon when he was about 15 years old (charming Indian snakes - OK,that bit's not true !),fronting Aunt Thelma's Candlelit Orchestra - and he's just gone on and on from there ! Since those earlier days,he has played with T...

Back in 1989,this ceilidh band originally formed as the perfect antidote to some of the stiff-starchy Country-dance bands of the time.They set out to be a a band playing traditional English music that rocked (rather than just being another 'Folk-Rock' band).After some line-up changes,the band finally hit the festival scene - within a very short time they were one of the most sought-after ceilidh b...
