Business description

Wraggle Taggle, outstanding talent from the North London traditional music scene, can tailor a band to your particular needs - anything from a duo to a six-piece, amplified or acoustic, with or without a caller. All the musicians have been performing, touring and recording many years and two are award-winning performers. Wraggle Taggle play traditional Irish, Scottish, English and American songs and tunes with innovation, flair and vitality. Musical influences include; The Chieftains; Planxty; The Bothy Band; Altan; Ally Bain; Boys of the Lough; Jimmy Shand; The Pogues; Van Morrison; The Dubliners and Christy Moore and the many talented friends they have met over the years in the vibrant traditional music scene. They are both sensitive to the occasion and responsive to the mood of the audience. If you wish they could concentrate on one particular style all night e.g. Scottish or Irish. An example of a duo would be guitar/vocals and banjo. Their accordion player can be brought in to enlarge the band. Other instruments such as fiddle, flute tin-whistle, double bass or snare drum may be added. Speciality instruments such as Scottish or Irish bagpipes, bodhran (Irish drum) or traditional dancers are also available. The Wraggle Taggles' most common format for a ceilidh consists of four musicians plus a caller who will teach the dances from scratch - no experience needed! A ceilidh is something really different and ideal for a successful party, as it is a fun way to get families, friends and colleagues to mix and meet and because all age groups become involved. The faster dances are an energetic work out, and they also play in a more relaxed romantic mood. Clients include Mick Jagger and British Airways. Venues include The Royal Festival Hall, Pinewood Studios, The Pride of Bilbao and The Kings Fund.
