Our music is mostly English and chosen through extensive research into traditional English dance tunes. Our tunes and speeds are carefully chosen to fit the dances perfectly and to get you on your feet and dancing!
We usually work with a caller who guides you through the dances, and we'll provide a caller (we have worked with many) or work with a caller of your choice.
A smaller version of the band is also available, consisting of Mary and Anahata playing as a duo. (formerly Four Hand Band.)
The "Barley Cote Big Band" with the addition of John Adams will be playing for the Ryburn 3 Step 2023 New Year's Eve ceilidh and a Lancashire clog dance weekend in February 2024.
