Four Hand Band

Mary Humphreys and Anahata play ceilidhs as a duo

HOME   gigs

Mary and Anahata are well known for their performances of traditional English song and instrumentals based on traditional English tunes. They also play for dancing as part of other bands: English Rebellion with Nick and Mary Barber from Huddersfield, Fendragon in the Cambridge area, and Ethel's Cats, a trio with Sousaphone player Dave Parker from Peterborough in which Mary plays English concertina. The latter three are also part of the band for the legendaryPig Dyke Molly of Peterborough.

For smaller dances, though (and not necessarily all that small...) they can make a perfectly good band by themseleves. They will provide a caller or work with the caller of your choice, and have their own PA system which is the same as used by Fendragon. Their music is the product of years of research looking for good English tunes that are perfect for this type of dancing. They play with joyful, bouncy energy, tunes that were designed to get you on your feet and your feet off the floor!
