Profile |
|||||||||||||||||
| Double Sharp, a three piece professional
ceilidh/barn dance band, consists of two young, energetic, very talented
musicians, with years of experience in spite of their young age [in fact
they both teethed on a violin scroll]. The third member of the band is a
very enthusiastic, professional, guitar playing caller, who caters for everyone,
especially those who have never been to a ceilidh/barn dance before. With
the emphasis on having fun, he will take you through the easy steps of the
dances and is sure to get everybody up dancing and enjoying themselves.
His talent also extendes to that of singer and he will provide vocals with
the band during dancing rests if desired. The ceilidh/barn dance can be very suitable for corporate events, as bonding - possibly a key factor - becomes apparent, as the dance style involves the coming together of all, in a fun, party atmosphere. For weddings, this also brings new and old relations together. At all other parties and events, it always makes a great memorable time. The unique big full sound of Double Sharp with electric fiddle, keyboard, guitar and a little on-stage lighting effects to add extra interest is a must for your event. A typical performance is for 3 x 40 or 2 x 60 minute sets. |
