..
Andy Turner comes in a variety of exciting
flavours
Andy Turner - solo
a few choice instrumentals on anglo-concertina and one-row melodeon, but mostly
traditional songs - some gloriously unaccompanied, some with (surprisingly
tasteful) concertina accompaniment.
"Good songs and tunes... beautifully sung or played with infectious drive and
rhythm" Dave Arthur, English Dance and Song.
Mat Green & Andy Turner
founder members of Magpie Lane providing the
instrumental drive at the heart of the band's dance music repertoire.
Mat has been dancing and playing for the traditional morris in Bampton for over
30 years; he has a unique, utterly danceable, quintessentially
English fiddle style. Together, Mat and Andy play mainly traditional English
dance tunes, interspersed with songs . They specialise in little-known tunes
from eighteenth and nineteenth century village musicians' tunebooks, but
essentially will play any good dance tune from almost anywhere!
Magpie Lane
5-piece acoustic band specialising in traditional English song and dance tunes.
Seven critically-acclaimed CDs on the Beautiful Jo label. Magpie Lane have performed at the top English festivals like
Sidmouth, Towersey, Fylde and Chippenham. They also put on annual Christmas
concerts in the Holywell Music Rooms in Oxford which have become something of a
local tradition...
"this Oxfordshire sextet represents the very best in the English country dance
and song tradition" -
Sing Out
.
Geckoes
In the front rank of the bands on the English Ceilidh scene. Evolving out of the
country dances of the British Isles, Europe and America, this style of dancing
is typified by its exuberance and Geckoes' music has all the energy and style
that it takes to fill a floor with hundreds of delighted - if somewhat sweaty -
dancers. Geckoes are a favourite attraction at dance clubs such as Haddenham and
Oxfolk, and have for many years been regular performers at major folk festivals
including Sidmouth, Towersey, Chippenham, and Whitby.
Chameleons
3-piece barn dance / ceilidh band based in the Oxford area with a flexible
line-up, drawn from the membership of Geckoes.
Christminster Singers
Oxfordshire's West Gallery choir, and amongst the country's leading exponents of
this robust, vigorous style of singing, which flourished in English country
parishes during the 18th and early 19th centuries; directed by Dave Townsend.
