About Square the Circle – Folk Dance Band

We are established musicians who have all previously played in other folk bands, with many years experience of folk music and dance in Sussex. The band normally consists of four musicians and a caller:

Sally, our leader, plays accordion and, sometimes harp, piano or flute. After a lifetime of sharing music with others, she gets particular pleasure from playing for dancers.

Bryan, our guitarist, ran his first folk club 41 years ago! He promotes the band by managing our publicity and also looks after the P/A system and the electrics.

Eileen, After playing in a local classical orchestra for several years Eileen, our fiddle player, rediscovered a love of folk music . She plays light classical music in a 'palm court orchestra', folk music in a quartet and is the music organiser for a folk orchestra.

Peter, Peter’s main instrument is flute, but he also plays a bit of penny whistle, guitar, banjo, saxophone & does a bit of improvisation on piano He’s been in the resident band for a folk club and played flute & keyboard for a local rock-band.

Laurie, our caller, will be the MC at your event. He's always ready with a song or two if asked, and may try to join in with his concertina if the musicians aren't looking!...

The Music

You’ll hear us playing traditional music of the British Isles and North America but where appropriate more recent music is used. We are constantly expanding our range and cater for dancers of all ages and abilities. Our aim is to make everybody want to dance and keep dancing right to the end of the evening!

We hope that we have persuaded you that Square the Circle can make your event go with a swing!!
