If you are looking for traditional English folk dance musicians in Somerset UK who are used to playing jigs, reels, waltzes, polkas and other types of traditional dance music, it can sometimes be difficult to find them. Typically, many of them are amateur or semi professional without big advertising budgets to tell the general population about themselves and so are very much under the radar.
Checking out local pub events can be helpful. Many UK folk musicians get together on a weekly or monthly basis at a local pub to play the tunes they love just for fun. These are called folk music sessions and a search in your local area might well give you a local pub venue where you could meet local folk music musicians.
Another source of traditional dance folk musicians in Somerset would be to check out local barn dance and ceilidh bands like our own Barnbuskers ceilidh barn dance band. Jigs, polkas, reels, waltzes and other traditional folk music dance tunes is what we do for special family birthday events, weddings or any event where some rustic toe tapping ambiance is needed.
Our very own band leader, Judy, is particularly available for traditional English folk music dance events both with her band or as a deputising musician in other traditional folk music dance bands playing her violin. Contacting Judy is easy via Barnbuskers band contact page. Whether you’re looking for a whole band of musicians or an individual expert English folk dance music fiddler, we look forward to hearing from you!
