Hear & See More... | The JG Ceilidh Band ref: 4702 |
| Playing an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary folk tunes for dancing with good rhythms and clarity, this is a two piece English Ceilidh band plus caller. Although the musicians both have classical training, they have spent many years playing and dancing in the folk genre.
The JG Ceilidh band play at PTAs, village socials, weddings, private parties for birthdays, retirements, and any other event where folk dances will help people to enjoy themselves.
The third member of the group at every dance is their caller who explains the dances. The band also has a repertoire of music for listening, which allows people to get their breath back, and helps the evening along.
Instrument line up can vary but always includes the fiddle/mandolin player - sometimes accordion/keyboard, sometimes accordion or guitar. |
| The dance repertoire is a carefully assembled collection of melodies from diverse sources; English, Scottish, American and Irish traditional tunes, modern composed tunes in the folk genre, and occasional popular tunes chosen for their affinity with the strong rhythms needed for dancing. |
