About our Music
Desperate Measures is a blend of Melodeon, Mandolin, Fiddle, Guitar, Bass and Bodhran.
We select our music from a rich repertoire of foot tapping English, Scottish and Irish and American tunes to include a good mixture of dances that cater for all levels of experience.
The traditional social gathering is suitable for all ages, from young children to grannies and is an excellent night out for the whole family. No special athleticism, or aptitude is necessary and Christine (our caller) calls the dances until she is certain you all know where you are putting your feet.
During the intervals between dances to give you a rest, we perform a wide range of tunes and songs.
