Mixing traditional and self-penned tunes, Hekety have been playing cutting edge English dance music since their formation in 1997. Based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire they have performed to much acclaim at festivals and other events throughout the country.

Hekety are an English Ceilidh band - if you're not sure what this is they have written a brief introduction.

Hekety are:
Jess Arrowsmith (fiddle)
Richard Arrowsmith (melodeons)
Gavin Davenport (cittern and guitar)
Jo Veal (clarinet)
Nigel Holmes (bass guitar)

A couple of quotes...

"Great band to work with - excellent musicians who create a stimulating selection of music styles without losing contact with the aims of a ceilidh band i.e. they are always good to dance to. I always enjoy working with them - book me again soon – please"
- Sheila Mainwaring, caller

"What a bloody fine bunch of tunes they are! ... played with skill, energy and a respect for the tradition of English Dance music. If you love English Dance Music you must hear this band play!"
- Green Man Review

For BunkFest 2011 their caller will be Ian Nichols
