Sheer Hopody
Barn Dance Band

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

A Barn Dance (or 'Ceilidh') is a great way of celebrating your special occasion.  Our lively folk band will play you a wide range of foot-tapping music, whilst 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' 6-piece line-up features melodeon, flute and saxophone for melody and harmony, with rhythm guitar, bass guitar and drums in the rhythm section. That sounds great, but if it also sounds too much, then we can usually 'slim down' a bit to suit!

Take a look at this slide show to see some of our usual bunch:

Sounds Good?

It certainly does - high quality equipment and good technical expertise ensures that the overall performance is first class.

If you'd like to hear what we sound like, visit our
Minstrels' Gallery where you'll find some live recordings for download. If you'd like to see us "in the flesh" you may be able to catch us at one of our public barn dances.

How much will it cost?

This really depends a lot on what you want, and where and when the dance will be. As a rough guide, a Saturday night barn dance somewhere in Exeter would be £675 for the full 6-piece line-up and caller. If you were really looking for a smaller band, then we could leave the drums behind, or, depending on when your dance will be, we may be able to reduce the size of the band even further. Detailed options are given on the top of our enquiry form.

Little Extras

In addition to our sound equipment, we also bring a couple of uplighters which add a cosy glow to venues that would otherwise only have harsh lighting, and a CD player to accompany your 'first dance' perhaps or for background music if you have a break half-way. A couple of little extras at no extra charge.

You may also be thinking of having live music at other times during your celebration. How about a sax quartet while your guests arrive, or maybe a pianist to play during your meal. 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 many excellent barn dance (ceilidh) bands operating in Devon, Somerset and Cornwall, and throughout the South West of England.  If we cannot help you for your particular occasion, we may well be able to suggest some other west country bands you could try.

We are happy to receive enquiries for corporate entertainment, product launches, team-building events etc. If you would like something a little extra-special for a larger venue, then we can add extra musicians to bring a real Big Band sound of impressive proportions!
