Folk Music

Our musical roots are based in traditional folk from England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and elsewhere. We have recorded 3 CDs to date (each is a mixture of tunes and songs) and these can be bought by contacting us on our Contact Us page.

As well as musical entertainment (concerts) and barn dances, we can provide background music for your event. For example, we could play quiet traditional folk music in your garden to set the atmosphere for your outdoor bbq. Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss this option.

Pandemonium at Christmas

Not a CD, but a compilation of recordings made during rehearsals November 2015.

Pandemonium at Christmas     

 

Hats Off To Wantage (CD 3)

CD Front only 800
The CD celebrates our 20 years of playing together.  We regularly perform in and around the Wantage area and the title of the CD is taken from a dance tune  especially written by band member Wanda Oberman, to celebrate the Oxfordshire Millennium in 2007.

Carol Warren-Smith, who produced the album, said “We are proud of our Wantage connection and heritage and hope this selection will give as much enjoyment to the listeners as we have had putting the tunes together.  This is a first for Pandemonium, in that the CD was recorded and mixed in-house at The Hilltribe Studios in Wantage by band member Howard Hill.”
