You want a fun evening that all will enjoy, and a barn dance is a great way to provide it. Our caller will guide your guests through the dances, with the emphasis being on fun.

Woodsiders play a mixture of English, Irish, Scottish and American styles of music and can tailor our tunes and dances to suit your event. We can even supply a Country & Western singer for American themed events (see our meet the band page). We have played in venues both small and large -  village halls with under a 100 guests to the Bournemouth International Centre for 2,000+ and we have been on the scene since 1992.

Our main barn dance band line-up is Mike on accordion, Ted on acoustic guitar, and Luke on percussion, plus our caller. We have a number of musicians who guest for us if any of our regular band members are unavailable, or if a larger barn dance band is required. See our Links page for more information on our guest musicians and other Ceilidh and Barn Dance Band links. Mike is also available as a solo performer.    Read Mike's interview with................

We have 5 million public liability cover, and our electrical equipment is P.A.T. tested annually.
