Northern
Frisk
is
a Ceilidh band based in Lancaster featuring:
Andy Hornby: Mandolin, Tenor Banjo, Whistles, Scottish Smallpipes
Cathy Hornby: Guitar, songs
Simon Booth: Melodions, Harmonicas
Between us, we have many years experience playing both for Ceilidh dances and in concert. For dancing, we use tunes that best fit the dances, wherever they are from! Most of our repetoire is British or Irish, with a smattering of tunes from the rest of Europe, the USA and a few of our own making. ("Pheasant Feathers" a collection of Andy's tunes is now available)We also have a particular interest in rediscovering and reviving the traditional dance music of North West England.(see the Winder Tunes page above). In between dances or in concert, we often feature Cathy's wonderful singing voice.
We work with many dance callers from across the North West who are very experienced at choosing dances to suit the occasion and the company. In between dances, we often play tunes and songs from our wider concert repetoire.
Testimonial...
"On behalf of Moorside PTA, I am writing to say thank you so much for coming and playing at our recent barn dance. Everyone had a fantastic time and this was made possible by your versatile playing and your skilled caller. We hope you enjoyed yourselves and look forward to our next barn dance!"
