The Spring Ceilidh was a fabulous event. The band was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! Who knew folk music was so infectious!!!

FS, University of Worcester, 2013

Thank you so much for playing at our Christmas wedding.
We loved it, our guests loved it and still rave about it!
It absolutely made our evening!

Wedding, Christmas 2012

Just back from honeymoon and wanted to say a HUGE
thank you to Between the Acts for providing such
fabulous music for our wedding - the instrumental
sets were perfect and the ceilidh was such, such
fun that no-one wanted it to end.

RS, wedding

Thanks to all the band members
for making it such a memorable night.

IM, birthday party.

 


A belated thank you for a wonderful evening - both we and all our guests thought you were superb.
Lots of people told us how much they enjoyed the dancing and the live music,
and we were very impressed by how many people you managed to get on the floor.

It really topped off a great day - thank you!

FW, wedding


Thanks for a great evening - everybody loved the music.

Will definitely call upon you again - hope you had fun too.

BETWEEN THE ACTS
top notch country dance band
ceilidh band barndance band barn dance band danceband weddings
parties knees-ups sexy danceband EFDSS dance band

for ceilidhs, barn dances, country dance
jigs and reels from Ireland and Galicia
songs from yesterday and today

dances from England and the British Isles

we normally play in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire,
Bristol and Bath, Wiltshire, Shropshire, the West Midlands
(and that little bit of north-west Surrey near Chertsey)

 

imagine the excitement of four hours' music and dancing from 8 pm till 12 midnight

imagine the pulsing rhythms of congas and bodhran

imagine the squeal of the electric violin

 

imagine the huge noise of the 12-string guitar

 

 

between the acts

 

our own caller will tell beginners what to do

(or remind experts!)

 

he knows several jokes and the names of the two counties at each end of the bridge at Athlone

 

 

 

between the acts

we play songs to give the dancers a breather - and then it's back to the dance-floor again!

remember, Oliver Cromwell banned country dancing because it was so salacious

it's ideal for all the family, even Uncle Tony

and you get to touch nearly everybody

what can possibly go wrong?

 

 

 

between the acts

all our instruments are handmade and tuned by professionals! John has a new 12-string Ovation which is gorgeous. Fact!

we have years of experience in this kind of thing:

you can even hear our music on a tv adaptation of Cider with Rosie

 

between the acts

 

we are prepared to negotiate a fee for any event
- we expect to charge £500 for an evening's dancing

and that includes everything (including PA, good manners and fashionable clothes (not shown))
