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 ceilidh band from the South-West of England. We feature two fiddles, guitar & bass, and play traditional dance music for celebrations of all kinds.
Most of our music and dances come from the British Isles so you'll hear lots of familiar Jigs, Reels & Hornpipes, but we sometimes crowbar a Romanian Nut-Crushing dance and some American, Breton and Transylvanian flavours into the mix, too ...
... so it's typically a cheery blend of the familiar and some spicy surprises, but if what you need is an all-Irish / all-Scottish / all-English evening, we'll be just as happy to do that.
S4N Ceilidhs can be any time and anywhere & they're perfect for Weddings, Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, Fund-raisers, Dance Clubs, St. Patrick's Nights, Birthdays, Burns Nights . . .
You provide some dancers, a floor and a plug-socket & we'll provide the band, the caller and the PA.
"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.
