Staff

David Cunningham and his Scottish Country Dance Band

Reels, jigs and a medley, traditional and contemporary tunes, by a band with more than half a lifetime's experience of playing together!
Favourite dances to the brilliantly polished playing of David & his Band. A big sound from a small, tight band.
