irish-trioIf it’s been far too long since yourself, friends, relatives or guests have kicked up their heels all night, then a good, versatile, experienced and widely appealing dance band is just what you need. With Rock and Roll for jumping, beautiful ballads for smooching, blues for cruising, country for stomping, Irish for carousing, traditional bush and set dancing for those who need a prod, and most importantly the experience to ‘read’ an audience for what is most appropriate. Peter on Guitar, Voice, Accordion, Penny Whistle, and dance calling, Evan on Guitar and Bass Guitar, and to make up the trio, Maggie – fine fiddler in all genres of music and dance caller.
