The Old Dance School’s distinctive concoction of explosive, white-knuckle folk is blowing up a storm on the festival scene. The six piece band features duelling fiddles and hair-raising world percussion galvanising their intricate compositions evoking images of windswept headlands, witches and wild vertical adventures – one minute riproaring, the next beautifully delicate.

Having all studied formally at Birmingham Conservatoire, and met amongst the vibrant young music scene that surrounds it, the six members of The Old Dance School may seem fresh faced, but don't let them fool you – the diversity and scale of each one's musical journey is quite remarkable. From international jazz festivals to European opera tours, film score commissions to classical recitals, The Old Dance School are one of the most exciting young bands to have emerged in recent years.
