 Good news!  You are all invited to a ceilidh in Cartmel Village Hall on Saturday 26 October.  Dancing starts at 7.00 p.m.  The Sands Band will be playing, with our brilliant caller Dave.  You don't need any experience - just come along and enjoy it.

A Spring ceilidh

We're optimists in the Sands Band and we think the end of February is (well, almost) the beginning of Spring!  So come and join us for a Spring ceilidh on Friday 28 February at Grange Methodist Church, 6:30 to 9:00pm.  Light refreshments will be provided.  No tickets and no set charge – donations welcome.  All dances will be called; no experience or partner needed, just a willingness to have fun, join in or simply enjoy listening to the music . Grange Methodist Church is a brilliant venue for ceilidhs and loads of other events, right in the town centre.  Sadly, the building is in need of major renovations and these are not cheap.  So the proceeds from this ceilidh will go towards the church's "Open for Community" building redevelopment fund.  Please be generous.  Dance, have fun - and GiftAid your donation if you can!

Summer time!

 It's Summer time and the Band is enjoying playing some gentle tunes for relaxed, sunny days.  We love the music of the 17th century Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan.  It showcases our fantastic guitarist, accompanied by plucked strings and "harp" (thanks to the wonders of electronic keyboard technology!) Here we are, pictured in a beautiful garden with amazing views, enjoying the flowers and the scenery after a delightful morning's playing. We are always keen to share our music with others.  Have a look at our "Book the Band" page if you are interested.
