We are an electric barn dance/ceilidh band with over twenty-five years experience. We provide a first-class caller to guide you through the dances, and also supply that all-important lighting for both stage and dance floor, to create just the right ambience.

The music was excellent and Polly did a great job with the "Calling", guiding us through a variety of interesting and amusing dances! So, highly recommended!
