All enquiries welcome

You can contact us by telephone, email or in person at an event.
Due to continuing difficulties with the band email address, please use the following: c.m.woodhead@durham.ac.uk. We can guarantee that you will get an answer with this one!


It would be helpful if an enquiry could contain as much of the following information as possible. However, the proposed date and venue are the most important; the rest can follow later.


• date of your proposed event, with alternatives (if appropriate) in case we are already booked on the first date suggested

• venue (and in some cases directions for getting there)

• type of event (e.g. church fund-raising, 18th birthday, wedding, works social event, etc)

• provisional start and finish times if known

• an indication of numbers likely to attend

• any special requests you might have, e.g. for a 50/50 night with disco-type dancing (we might be able to recommend a DJ for after the ceilidh) or for a semi-Scottish evening (which we might do), or for children’s dances (which we can certainly do)


Please note that...

• although the band does not require a particularly large space in which to set up, we do need convenient access to a reliable electricity supply and would appreciate a chair each (without arms)

• we normally require parking space for three cars, and easy access to the venue for bringing in heavy equipment
