Scottish Dancing Bands in England

I thought it would be good to compile a list of Scottish Dance bands, together with descriptions and (if they are willing) contact information. So that's what this is trying to do. Descriptions have been taken from album covers and other material the bands themselves have provided.

I welcome details of bands anywhere in the world. I would just ask that it be restricted to Scottish Dance Bands, and I will not publish contact information unless I am sure that the band member in question is happy with this.

There are the following indexes:

• Bands in Australasia
• Bands in England
• Bands in Europe
• Bands in Northern Ireland
• Bands in North America, including primarily Canada and the USA
• Bands in Scotland
• Bands in Wales
• Freelance callers.

The bands details are arranged alphabetically:
[ A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | Numbers ]
