About Me

Ewan and Adrian have been playing together for about 18 years, starting in a variety showband and also with a couple of mates in a Rock/Country/Ceilidh function band -'Unfinished Business'. They joined with an established Accordian/fiddle 'spare time' band at work, where Bob joined them. They have played to audiences from half a dozen in sheltered housing to 3 gigs to 3,000 people in a circus tent at Albert Dock in Liverpool appearing with Gerry Marsden (without his Pacemakers) and Justin Hayward as guests of the Mersyside Police Band.The material ranges from set dances which can be 'called' to traditional and contemporary folk and acoustic songs, some great harmonies and instrumentals. The songs range from some of Robert Burns finest to 'Trad' songs and songs by some of our favourite singer/songwriters, including the works of Eric Bogle, Dougie MacLean and Ivan Drever.The band are suited to Burns Suppers, Clubs, pubs and private functions and parties. The music is suited to dancing to, listening to or a bit of both.The dances include the usual favourites: Gay Gordons, Scottish and Irish Waltzes, St Bernards, Military Two Step, Candian Barn Dance, Dashing White Sergeant, Strip the Willow, Orcadian Strip the Willow, Virginia Reel, Britania Swo Step and the list is growing.
