  • Bio

    ..The Flying Romanos are a country dance band based in the greater New York City area. English country dance music is what we first got together to play back in 1998, but we've diversified and now we quite happily play music for contras, Scottish country dance, and even a Balkan tune or two, although English music remains our primary focus... ..We started out as the house band for ..North Jersey English Country Dancers.., and we still play there every other Sunday. But you can also hear us at various other dances in the New York area and farther afield at balls, festivals, and dance weekends... .. ....

We started out as the house band for North Jersey English Country Dancers, and we still play there every other Sunday. But you can also hear us at various other dances in the New York area and farther afield at balls, festivals, and dance weekends.
