Dr Butlers Hatstand Medicine Band, being a morally good medicine band, making music of merriment with tones of joy in celebration of the tonic, titillation and tuneful etiquette of life. Dr Butlers Hatstand Medicine Band present to you their good time rags and reels, show stoppers and sight stealers; music for foot stomping and toe tickling that joins hearts with flesh whilst invigorating the thinking mind. Dr Butlers Hatstand Medicine Band stand before you as harbingers of gentility, bearers of ingenuity, possessors of conviviality, enhancers and champions of upright and virtuous behaviour and caretakers of chivalric honour.
"I think the most I’ve danced in the past 10 years is to that band. Dr Butler’s Hatstand Medicine Band are fantastic. Washboard, harmonica, double bass, beauty, they’re just fantastic. I think you’d call it ragtime, I’m not sure but it’s awesome music to dance to.” - GUY GARVEY, MERCURY MUSIC AWARD WINNER.
