Knotted Chord Folk Dance Band

Knotted Chord began in 1985 at Nottingham University. During the early years we were mostly a 5-piece band, but as band members have moved on, we are now usually just two. The band has performed at most of the major dance festivals around the UK, and has also had a couple of trips abroad - central France in 1986, and Seattle, USA in 1995 performing at the North West Folklife Festival.

The band is noted for its versatility - dance music is always top quality and suitable for any occasion. Repertoire includes more than three centuries of English dances from 1650s to present day, plus driving American jigs and reels for contras and squares.

We're happy to work with any dance caller of your choice.
