Beat the credit squeeze!

The brand new Compact Ceilidh Band was formed — so-called because it comprises only two musicians, one of whom also calls the dances. It will provide you with a superb ceilidh at a very competitive price. Perfect for fund-raisers!

Wildfolk and Weddings

So many people requested information about the sort of music that we can offer for weddings and the reception afterwards, that we decided to have a page dedicated to this — Wildfolk and Weddings.

Rhubarb Tarts

Although Molly dancing is a winter tradition, the Rhubarb Tarts were out and about dancing during the summer...

When they went down to Foxtrot with Foxs Morris at Bretforton (near Evesham), many of the dancers and musicians went to a session at the Fleece. It was there, fuelled by some excellent real ale, that the idea was conceived... we'd dance to Alison's (from Foxs) fantastic voice and Nigel (Landlord of the Fleece) would dance with us. And here it is — College Hornpipe with a difference — not to the usual tune and slightly slower than normal... with a howling gale as background noise! (Thanks to RingOBelle for the video.)
