Sheer Hopody Barn Dance Band

Fun for Everyone at your Wedding Reception, Wedding Anniversary, Birthday Party...

A Barn Dance (or 'English Ceilidh') is a great way of celebrating your special occasion.  Let our lively ceilidh band entertain you with a wide range of 'up-beat' folk music, while our 'caller' leads you through the steps.  You can't go wrong?  Oh yes you can - and all the more fun for everyone!

If you've been to a barn dance before, you'll know that this really is the way for all your guests to enjoy themselves.  No-one need get left out and mixing is guaranteed.

About the Band...

Our 'full-bodied' 5-piece band features melodeon, flute and saxophone for melody and harmony, with rhythm guitar and bass guitar in the rhythm section. The result is good, solid, danceable music that sounds great, and yet is very easy on the ear.

Sounds Good?

It certainly does! For us, the sound quality is as important as the quality of the musicians. Our carefully chosen, high quality modern equipment coupled with good technical expertise ensures that the overall performance is first class: good dance music should be loud enough to dance to but still be pleasant to listen to. We make sure of that!

How much will it cost?

This really depends on when and where the dance will be. As a guide, a barn dance or ceilidh somewhere in the Exeter area would cost £595 for the 5-piece line-up and caller. We may be able to adjust the size of the band to suit the occassion; detailed options are given on the top of our barn dance enquiry form.

Little Extras

In addition to our sound equipment, we also bring a couple of uplighters which can add a cosy glow to venues that would otherwise only have harsh lighting, and some background music if you have a break half-way.

Will we deliver the goods?

Well, we've been doing this since 1995 and have never let anyone down or disappointed.
On the contrary: see some comments from previous clients.

You may also be thinking of having live music at other times during your celebration, and with our wide range of professional musical contacts in the West Country, we would be more than happy to arrange this for you, - or put you in touch directly if you prefer.

Sheer Hopody is one of a number of excellent barn dance (ceilidh) bands performing in Devon, West Somerset and North Cornwall, and throughout the South West of England. If we cannot help you for your particular occasion, we may well be able to recommended some other west country dance bands you could ask.

We are happy to receive enquiries for corporate entertainment, product launches, team-building events etc. However, if you would like something a little extra-special then check out our big brother 9pins English Ceilidh Band - an english ceilidh band with an impressive line-up who can also provide some european circle dances in addition to the more traditional english country dances if that suits.
