Versatility is the name of the game with Black Velvet Band. Looking for a Scottish feel to the event? The caller will include tried and tested favourites. Prefer to put on your cowboy boots and "dosie do" at an American Hoedown? The guys will give you a real down-home Hoedown, Texas-style. |

... play toe-tapping tunes. |

Don't worry if you've never danced before. It's easy! The band brings a "caller" who shows you how. And if you'd like a ceili, Irish-style, the band will throw a few well-known Irish songs into the mix, and give you the "Siege of Ennis" and "Bridge Of Athlone". |
