News - Now in West Yorkshire

Mary and Anahata are moving from Cambridgeshire to West Yorksire in August 2017 and from September 2017 onwards will be looking for ceilidh bookings anywhere within a sensible range of Keighley (West Yorkshire and Lancashire).
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, and Fendragon in the Cambridge area.

For smaller dances, though (and not necessarily all that small...) Mary and Anahata 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!

the tunes ... all played with verve, good arrangements and the slightly ramshackle rhythm that is one of the glories of English music - Nick Beale, fRoots.
