Alf
Alfa and the Wild Oats
- Ceilidhs / Barn Dances Band |
For the last seventeen years,
Alf Alfa and the Wild Oats have been one of the most popular and best
known bands in the country, playing for ceilidhs, barn dances and folk
festivals throughout the Midlands, Northern England and Wales.
At the end of 2007, three of the original
band members left for various reasons. The remaining four have
decided to continue providing high quality entertainment, relaunching
under the name of Alf-Alfa. The current band members are:
Trevor Carter: English concertina, harmonicas and keyboards
Jason Hill: guitar, banjo, ukulele, autoharp
Phil Pimentil: recorders, wind synthesiser, low D whistle
Linda Westrupp: caller
(A percussionist is also often available for larger gigs.)
|
They cover a wide range
of styles:
The band's
repertoire is still firmly based in the English ceilidh tradition,
but also includes music from Scotland, Ireland and America,
as well as original compositions. We have also been influenced
by Western Swing, the jazz-tinged dance music of Texas, and
some of our arrangements
have a distinctive swing feel.
