The Band

Comprises of Phil Berthoud on fiddle, Mike Cosgrave guitar, Mike Vickery on spoons & mandolin, Simon on banjo, and Les Thompson on accordion. We hire callers if needed but Les often does the calling.

For each event a combination of three or four of us usually play depending on the style of music wanted.
Last but not least our high quality professional sound system helps deliver a sound far beyond that you might expect from a small band.

The Music

comprises of traditional dance tunes taken from all around the British Isles. For any particular event we can lean more towards Irish or Scottish

Our tunes have been arranged imaginatively to suit the band and all are played with a dance feel to make people feel like dance!

Leslie,

just wanted to say thanks very much for doing such a wonderful job playing at our wedding on 19th July. You really made the evening, I'm sure that I have never seen a wedding with the dance floor so full all night!

Hi,
Belatedly, I would like to thank you all for the excellent playing and calling at my daughter's wedding on the 5th August.
Everyone said how much they enjoyed themselves and it's a good way of getting all age groups involved!
I particularly liked the way youy ended the evening with the circle and archway so Rachel and Dave were able to say goodbye to everybody. It was something I hadn't seen before and think it is a great idea.
Yours sincerely,
Jenny G
