HOME BREW
COUNTRY DANCE BAND
Over 40 years experience in playing for barn dances & ceilidhs in Devon and neighbouring counties
Home Brew Band have gone into semi-retirement but may still be available for bookings within 25 miles of Exeter and ending no later than 11.00 pm. Please ask for a quote but as a rough guide we usually charge £110 per person. For a 3 piece band + caller the fee will be in the region of £440. If we need an independent caller, his/her charge may be higher.
If Home Brew Band are not available a good alternative is the Winkeilidh Band
with similar line-up and fees. The contact is also the same.
Possible line-up of band

Our fee will include travel expenses, and a gig for up to four hours, finishing no later than 11.00 pm, and with a break if booked for more than two hours. We have our own P.A. and normally require about 30 minutes to set this up before the scheduled start time for the dancing. The caller will select dances appropriate to the occasion, taking into account age range and previous experience of folk dancing.
