LIVE AT A BARN DANCE
Barn Dances & Ceilidhs are now the top event for all sorts of special occasions - wedding & birthday parties, anniversaries & charity fundraisers to name a few.
Life Of Riley Barn Dances are strictly for fun & for those that don't want to take it all too seriously! No previous experience is needed as the caller will guide you through the dances, none of which are too complicated. She does a good explanation & practice walk through for you before each dance. Songs & tunes are performed between dances to allow everyone to get their breath back.
With use of a special technique on an arranger keyboard, Life Of Riley sounds like a five piece band, but without the large fee that goes with it.
(Fee for West Gloucestershire area is £250). If required, they can come with an optional fiddle player (then they sound like a 6 piece band).
What's the difference between a Barn Dance & a Ceilidh? - not a lot!
