Formed in 1969, the Danelaw Country Dance
Band had the same line-up for the first 21 years. Robert on first
accordion teamed up with brother Jon on drums, Alan Coulson on second
accordion, Joseph Hornsby on fiddle and Alan Brown on piano. The present line-up,
together for the last twelve years, includes son Christopher on
second accordion, Ken Park on fiddle and Dave Ashbridge on drums. Playing for Scottish Country Dancing, Old Time
Dances, Ceilidhs and Accordion clubs throughout the British Isles and
Europe. Recent countries visited include USA, Germany, Belgium, Denmark,
Spain, Cyprus and Portugal and everywhere in the British Isles from the
South Coast to Shetland and from their native Northumberland to the
accordion clubs of Northern Ireland.
Although specialising in Scottish Country
Music the band is equally at home with all types of music for all types of
events. Barn Dances, Weddings, Social Evenings, Birthdays, Highland Dance Clubs,
Festivals and all sorts of functions are catered for. Distance is no
problem to the Danelaw Band neither is the size of the function as fees
will always fit your budget. The band will provide a professional 'Caller'
for ceilidh dancing so if you're an expert or a total novice you'll have a
great time!!
