The Band has many years of experience in playing for Ceilidhs, Medieval Banquets, Weddings, and Parties at Village or Town Halls, Schools, Festivals, Burns Nights, St Patrick's Nights and all sorts of other events and venues, from a remote Cornish fort, stately homes and hotels, to barns and marquees.

They've played at Twinning Association weekends in France, for Parent Teachers Associations in schools, at music festivals such as Sidmouth and Weybridge, and for charity events.

Whatever your event, they will play traditional music to get your feet tapping!
