The Woodpecker Band

The Woodpecker Band is well known in the south of England for its coverage of festivals, large regional ceilidhs and smaller local events. The Band has a large repertoire of traditional and modern dance music, mostly from the British Isles, but also including music from other countries. The band's unique sound is a product of traditional and modern elements of music and style fused with a solid electric rhythm section giving the band an easily identifiable contemporary edge. Mathew Green, fiddle; Jeff Dando, melodeon; Ali Smith, bass guitar; Dave Eynstone, guitar; Steve Finley, drums and percussion. (Saturday night ceilidh Wallingford Sports Park)
