Customer feedback:

"How to put the fun into fundraising? Invite the wonderful Sands Band and caller Dave Rogers to provide a ceilidh for anyone of any age and ability, as we did in February 2026 for our redevelopment project at Grange Methodist Church. Lively music - some people came just to listen - and user-friendly calling, all led with enthusiasm and evident enjoyment themselves made for an unforgettable evening."
Hazel Edmondson, Grange Methodist Church, February 2026

"Many thanks for your wonderful music on Sunday. I thought it was a great day with a really good atmosphere (helped by your music). Please pass on my thanks to the band."
Derek Seward, organiser, "Classics over Sands", August 2025

"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!"

Marching on

Welcome March and the beginning of Spring! The month starts with St David's Day so we're marking it with a Welsh tune. It's called "Morfa'r frenhines" which we (not being fluent in the language) understood to mean "The Queen's march". That seemed odd as it's a waltz but it's a good tune and we like playing it.  But now we stand corrected.  Morfa doesn't mean march at all! A Welsh morfa is a saltmarsh, just like ours here in Grange. So maybe The Sands Band becomes Band Morfa if we travel south and over the border? Click on the video to hear the tune.

It's still Summer!

It's still Summer in Grange-over-Sands.  It must be, because the Sands Band is playing for a Summer Fair.  It's on Saturday 20 September at Bridge House Residential Home, Flookburgh, LA11 7JS and we are playing from 1.00 to 2.15 p.m.  Do come along and help us help them to raise money for a new Summer house.  You see?  If it's a Summer house it must still be Summer!  QED.

May song

Well, maybe we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves but we are really looking forward to playing springtime music at the Fell Church in Grange including - you've guessed it - the May Song!  We shall be there on Wednesday 7 May at 2.00 p.m.   Do come along if you can.  The Fell Church, 49 Grange Fell Road, GRANGE-OVER-SANDS   LA11 6AN.  Free admission! If you haven't visited the Fell Church before you are in for a treat.  It's a gem!  Discover its history and soak up the ambience as you listen to our spring programme.  There will be an opportunity afterwards, should you wish, to make a donation to the church.
