Moondance
MoonDance provide
a truly unique ceilidh experience. Imagine the accessibility of traditional
dance music combined with power of rock and funk music. Unlike many ‘electric’
barn dance bands, the MoonDance sound is more than just an
acoustic folk band grafted onto a pub-rock rhythm section.
The music has been
developed as true fusion of the best of traditional and modern dance rhythms
and can be heard all over the country at Weddings, Birthday Parties, Corporate
Events, Conferences, Product Launches, University Balls and Charity events as
well as Festivals and Public Dances.
The
band line-up is usually a six-piece featuring the electric guitar of Brian
Heywood; the virtuoso electric fiddle playing of Mark Knight; the
keyboards or fiddle of Tom Fairbairn; James Asher on drums, Sam McEvoy on percussion and Paul
Francis on bass guitar. The calibre of musicianship in the band is truly
second to none with various members having previously worked with acts as
varied as Blue Horses and Celtish through to Paul Weller and Pete
Townsend.
The band works with some of the UK's finest dance
callers and can thus ensure that the audience will be in the best possible
hands, an essential element if everyone is going to have a good time. The
caller is well versed in running an enjoyable evening and will select dances to
suit the ability of the audience.
"Absolutely loved it!!! We poked our heads
round the door on the Saturday with no intention of getting involved and before
you know it, we were being hurled around in sets. Thanks to everyone who asked
me to dance, had a cracking time and hope to see you back next year" GuilFest 2008 Forum post.
