| Rumpus has
been playing together since 1998, but between
them they've been playing contradance music for about
100 years. They love what they do together,
finding that new sound of traditional
Old-time, Irish, English, French Canadian and New
England tunes. Sarah and Bill are joined by
a couple of their friends - we'll let you know ahead
of the time which grouping and instrumentation we
think will work best for your event. Guaranteed fun! |
