What people have said about Grand Union

Grand Union are definitely one of my favourite bands to call with. They have a wide repertoire of great English tunes which they play with skill and verve. The excellent twin fiddle and melodeon lead is backed by some terrific banjo and piano...all driven along by precise and powerful percussion. They are wonderful to dance to and a genuine pleasure to work with. Very highly recommended.’ - Dave Hunt

 

'Packed hall enjoyed the perfect English Country Band Dance. There wasn't much sitting down done.' -- Folkwrite
