Our repertoire is broad, including traditional and modern
English, Irish, Scottish, American and European tunes.
We have a wide range of set tunes for various popular
British and American Dances.
Our
style is on the rocky/jazzy side of folk, though we are always sensitive to the
audience's preferences on volume level.
For dancing we play mainly reels, jigs,
polkas, hornpipes, marches and waltzes, with more specialist tunes such
as rants and schottisches when needed. We work closely with the caller
so that the tunes we play help the dancers and add to the dance.
We also have specialist tunes for particular
dances e.g. Swedish Masquerade, Gay Gordons etc. and set tunes for
American singing calls and traditional English dances.
We have tunes for background listening for
those times when the audience are not yet ready to dance or simply need
a few minutes' rest! These range from fast Irish jigs to slow, gentle
airs and are chosen to be interesting to listen to and to fit the mood
of the evening. |
