Dance calling

When we play for dances we always provide a 'caller'. While we concentrate on providing the best possible sounds the caller will make sure that everything runs smoothly and that everyone gets step by step instructions for the dances. All the callers we work with are very experienced at matching the choice of dances to the ability of the dancers—so don’t worry! Everyone will be able to join in and have a great time. 

           Where are we?

Although based in the South Gloucestershire area, we accept bookings far and wide, so give us a call and we may be able to link your event with another in our schedule. 

         Tunes

For bookings which require few dances (those less energetic occasions) we have a huge repertoire of  tunes to keep you entertained. See our instruments pages on the site for more information and sample some of the tunes on the 'tunes' page. 

 		Testimonials

Dear Kit and Boodle,

"We just wanted to say thank-you for making the 40th birthday party go with a real swing last week-end. Your performances were a great success in every respect - organization, musicianship, sound levels and the ability to turn a group of un-coordinated men, women and children into a finely honed dance troupe was amazing (OK the last point may be a slight exaggeration). Your professionalism allowed us to really enjoy the evening. Looking forward to the 50th!"

"Many thanks to you all for providing such high quality entertainment at our wedding. All our guests has such a full night and the dancing has provided some very amusing video footage! Thanks again and best wishes."

"Thanks for helping make our wedding reception a huge success. Everyone had great fun and the music was just perfect - we really liked all the tuneful bits you played in between."

"You provided a better Scottish Ceilidh than ones I've been to in Scotland!"
