Booking the Band

The band is available for public or private events.  We are based in the Peak District and also play in South Yorkshire.  If you would like us to play for you please use the contact form above giving details.

Join the band

The band is open to anyone who would like to play folk music for dancing.  On alternate weeks we have slow practices where beginners can learn the tunes and we also welcome more experienced musicians.  If you are interested in joining the band please use the contact form.

This is the website of the Well Dressed Band. We are a community band based in the Peak District and we play for ceilidhs and barn dances in the local area including South Yorkshire. The band also gives an opportunity for aspiring folk musicians to learn to play for dances in a friendly atmosphere.

The band performs once or twice a month for ceilidhs in the local area and also organises our own 'Home Grown' ceilidhs, generally in conjunction with a local charity.  We also go away as a band for weekends of workshops.  As well as band weekends away in Lockton, we also meet up every two years with two similar bands, the Hexham Villlage Band and the Chorley Cakes.  See Events.

The band recently played at Hope where they were 'Well Dressed'.
