Some of our gigs have been cancelled because someone ate a bat, but we'll be back in action as soon as it's safe to strip the willow again.
Please take care.
SPINACH FOR NORMAN is a four-piece band (two fiddles, guitar & bass) from the South-West of England. We play traditional dance music for ceilidhs & celebrations of all kinds.
Our tunes and dances come mainly from the British Isles so you'll hear lots of familiar Jigs, Reels & Hornpipes at our gigs, but we sometimes crowbar a Romanian Nut-Crushing dance and some American, Breton and Transylvanian flavours into the mix...
It's a cheery blend of the familiar and some spicy surprises, then, but if an all-Irish / all-Scottish / all-English evening is what you need, we can happily do that too.
"The ceilidh was perfect for our wedding - it worked for everybody, young and old, and was a great mixer. Everyone was on the floor at some point, and it was such a good laugh ... "

S4N HAS PLAYED FOR WEDDINGS & CIVIL PARTNERSHIPS in castles, village halls, banqueting halls, barns, looaaads of marquees and one four-man tent. We've lost count...
Every ceilidh needs a caller to lead the dancing and PAM HAYES is ours. Her dances are mainly traditional, always fun, suitable for everyone and quick & easy to learn. Pam is hugely popular and great with adults, children, experienced & inexperienced dancers alike. She will consult you to find out exactly how you want the evening to go and can offer some wild wedding dances.
