Banter has appeared on BBC Radio 2, have four albums, and are quite the hardest working ceilidh band around!

“A splendid disregard for musical boundaries, but with a respect for English traditional music” – Songlines – 4 star review

Banter is: Simon Care on melodeon & concertina, Nina Zella on keyboards & vocals, Tim Walker on drums, percussion, brass, guitar, bass & vocals and Mark Jolley on bass, fiddle, guitar & vocals. They are rooted in English traditional music but incorporate influences of pop, jazz, soul and big band sounds. Although just four people, they create a huge sound and have been described as the world’s smallest big band.

Our caller this evening is the ever wonderful Sheena Masson. She chooses really good dances, and has a great way of explaining them.
