 We have been playing lively Australian folk music and dances around the country for 25 years.

Their dances are a heap of fun ,with traditional dances being altered for an extra twist, under the zany direction of our caller.

The music ranges from traditional Australian and Celtic tunes and ballads .We even do a good selection of contemporary and rocky numbers.

Featuring guitar, accordion,violin ,vocals, bass, lagerphone and caller.
