Jig For a Kiss

Seven musicians and singers playing an eclectic mix of instruments from mandolin to sax and melodeon to clarinet.

Hope to see you at one of our upcoming gigs so you can enjoy our multi-instrumental arrangements of music mainly from the folk tradition. With six voices and about 20 instruments, we’ll bring you songs and tunes from England, Scotland, Ireland, France and beyond – jigs, slip jigs, and reels; schottisches and polkas; a hint of Kletzmer, ska, and swing; and songs about love, crime, hardship and, on occasion, beer!

 

Enjoyed a fantastic evening at Spital Arts on 18th January. We had great memories of our last time playing at St. Leonard’s Church and were not disappointed this time. A lovely warm welcome awaited us on a chilly night! Check out their upcoming 2025 programme.
