FISH & CHIPS
Houston, Texas
An English
and American Traditional Dance Band
We are a group of musicians who enjoy playing
English, American and Irish traditional dance
music,
using fiddles, flutes, harps, banjos, concertinas, guitars,
mandolins, pipes, tin whistles, bones, and the like.
We play for contra and
English country dances, house sessions, and charity events.
All of us truly enjoy playing
for dances....dances are what this music is
all about!
English country dances take place at Oxford Hall, at 1135
Oxford in the Heights on the second
Tuesday of each month;
please see this link for more information: http://www.hatds.org/ecd.html .
Please check our calendar, below, for contra dance and other
appearances.
We also have been known to play (and sing) for various charity venues, especially during the
Christmas season.
If you have need of a traditional band for either a dance or
a charity event,
please contact Janet
Roberts.
Our band practices are
twice a month on 1st and 3rd Thursdays, at Oxford Hall in the Heights.
If you are interested in joining a traditional dance band, and
have the energy, skills and practice time to devote to it,
please contact Dan Worrall . We are always on the lookout for new folks to play music
with!
We also host house sessions
amongst members of our group and their friends, just for fun, once or twice a
month,
usually on Saturday evenings. If you are interested in playing
music at these sessions, but not for dances, then
please contact Dan Worrall for more information about them. Anyone with a passion for this
style of music, regardless of playing level,
is encouraged to join in. The tunes on this website are ones that
we currently play.
Our Webmaster is John
Liestman; please contact him for any
additions to or suggestions for this site.
