Many of the dances that we perform are accompanied by a tune of the same name, however, where this is not the case, the tune name is given in brackets.
Currently our music is provided by a small but enthusiastic band, playing instruments including melodeon, fiddle and saxophone, but we are keen to welcome new musicians of any ability level.
