If you are looking for a lively time at your wedding, or social event, ThingumaJig has the right package for you.

A new band made up of old faces, and experienced hands, ThingumaJig features John Scholey calling the dances, Pete McClelland on Melodeon, Fiddle & Bouzouki, with Mannie McClelland on Concertina & Mandolin, Mick Platt on Bass & Guitar, Gerald Eyton-Jones on Drums and occasionally David Sheldon on Keyboards. Liz Scholey is on hand with percussion and to lead a line dancing session during the event if required, making sure everyone has a chance to join in the fun.

Available as a 3 to 6 piece band plus callers

You can leave it to them to get everyone joining in, and make the event go with a swing! John and Liz use radio mics to get down amongst the dancers, demonstrating and encouraging everyone, and call the dances from the floor.

Inexperienced dancers are not a problem, ThingumaJig will suit the dancing to the ability of the dancers, whether it is for complete novices, or seasoned folk dancers. They can also flavour the event in whatever way you like with American, Scottish, Irish or English music and dances.

Whether the music is for a wedding, a birthday party or any other function, they believe it is important that the band is responsive to the needs of the occasion. They take care to listen carefully to the requirements of the people they play for, and many write to them afterwards to let them know how much they enjoyed it. These have been received recently:

"Dear Pete
We had a fantastic New Year thanks to you and the band. .....said it was the best party he has ever been to - please thank the guys and girls"

"Dear Peter & Gang
Many, many thanks for the great music and dancing on Saturday. I know everyone really enjoyed the party mainly thanks to your efforts..."

"Dear Pete & Band
Thank you so much for a fantastic evening at our wedding reception. Everyone said how different it was, and what fun. The band worked very hard and we had a great time."

"Dear Pete & all the Guys & Girls in the Band
I just wanted to say, once again, a HUGE thanks to you all for making my SCOPE charity barn dance such a great evening. Everyone I have spoken to says: 'What a great band, where did you find them?"

"They went down a storm and I have had lots of people raving about the band since Saturday night. They really were excellent... The funniest sight had to be watching lawyers from all around Europe trying to do Irish dancing. I was nearly crying with laughter!"

"Dear All
Thank you all so very much for making our first event go with such a swing, whenever I looked around everyone seemed to be smiling if they were dancing or just watching.."

"Dear Rachel (Agency)
I thought I would drop you a line to say how fantastic my wedding day was. You were right, Thingumajig were a complete success and everyone loved them. One memorable moment was my brother jigging across the floor with the wife of my boss!!"
