Rooted
in tradition, but not confined by any of it... not only can they play
7 bells out of their instruments but it would be some night when the
musos in this band weren't [some of] the best dancers in the room. And
it shows. It really shows in everything they play. And the tunes 'rock'.
In the folkiest way of course...
Gordon Potts, caller, The Committee Band
...Musicians who have soaked up a wide variety of styles since the
big traditional dance music revival and taken in Rock, Funk and World
music along the way. All this makes for very danceable music.
Mike Wild, Stirrings What
a bloody fine bunch of tunes they are! ... played with skill, energy
and a respect for the tradition of English Dance music. If you love
English Dance Music you must hear this band play!
Green Man Review Great
band to work with - excellent musicians who create a stimulating selection
of music styles without losing contact with the aims of a ceilidh band
i.e. they are always good to dance to. I always enjoy working with them
- book me again soon – please
