Customer feedback:

"Just to say thank you for the band’s participation in our Let’s Dance! Day event. We had a group meeting yesterday afternoon and everyone who attended the event said that they had very much enjoyed dancing to live music. As a result of the day, yesterday we gained 3 new group members... the caller was great fun and made it easy for everyone to join in."

 " 'Beyond FGM' charity would like to express our utmost gratitude to the Sands Band for a wonderful evening of dancing, music and fun in Cartmel Village Hall last month.
Special thanks must also go to their caller, Dave, who was so patient with us ceilidh dancing novices!
The band are all amazing musicians which guarantees a great night for everyone.
We highly recommend the Sands Band for any occasion, bringing together family and friends, old and new!"

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.
