WELCOME TO GALLIMAUFRY
Based in Southport ,Gallimaufry are one of the most popular and hard working bands in the North West A Gallimaufry Barn Dance. It’s
a dance evening for everyone to join in. Sarah will be your caller and she will explain each dance and then help you through
it. We usually start with very easy dances and then they get a bit more complex as the evening goes on. You don't need to be a dancer,we will explain all you have to do.All we want you to do is have a fun night
and make it a lively and enjoyable event. It won't matter if you haven't done this sort of thing before - just
turn up willing to get up and have a go. What else might happen during the evening? During the event we will have plenty of breaks, when we will play some tunes or sing a few songs. We play all types
of music everything from folk and jazz to classical and European music.Pete sings all sorts of songs everything from Irish
and Scottish songs right through 60s music. There should be enough dancers to allow you to sit out one or two dances. There's
usually a break half way through the evening for some food or just to rest a bit. If you want
to hear the band you are welcome to come and see us at a gig or listen to our Cds. You
are welcome to come to any of our gigs, that way you can see what we do and make sure it’s what you have in mind. We get most of our gigs from recommendations and we are rebooked plenty of times. We sometimes put on our own barn
dance events and welcome the general public to these If you'd like some easy listening
music to cover the drinks reception or meal we can provide background music. GALLIMAUFRY WEDDINGS
