"Martin's forceful, driving melodeon playing, Phil's
unique percussion
style, and their enthusiasm for the music, combine to create
the band's
wonderfully danceable sound."
A ceilidh, barn dance or country dance (different names
for the same thing) is ideal for family parties such as
weddings, birthdays and anniversaries, as it is great fun
for all the family. Country dancing is also ideal for a
charity fund-raising event or for your office party. No
prior dancing experience is necessary as all the dances
are called, and the caller will explain all the dances in
detail, and ensure that everyone has great fun no matter
how many right and left feet you may have.
The Bang On The Wall Band consists of Martin Wildig on
lead melodeon, Phil Preen on percussion and tin whistle,
Neil Cadwallader on Bass and Colin Keefe on Guitar. The
band play mostly traditional English, Scottish, Irish and
American tunes, but you may hear the occasional tune from
mainland Europe or Scandinavia, and also modern tunes composed
by a band member or friend of the band.
The band work with a number of experienced professional
callers, who can guarantee a great time is had by all, whether
you are expert folk-dancers, or a group of family and friends
just out for a great evening's
entertainment.
