At the top of the English Ceilidh scene for more than 20 years, The Ironmasters are a highly influential ceilidh band who play traditional music and original compositions in their own distinctive style.
Building upon a solid guitar, bass and drum rhythm you will dance to melodeon and saxophone melodies, spiced with harmonica, songs and innovative sax solos. The Ironmasters provide a varied sound that is great for dancing to, or listening to.
They are:
Alistair Gillies: Saxophones, Recorders and Whistles.
Edwin Beasant: Melodeons, Contra Bass Bugle.
Baz Parkes: One and Two Row Melodeons, Harmonica, Caller.
Steev Hall: Electric guitar.
Ray Archer: Electric Bass Guitar.
Nick Beck: Drums, Percussion.
The Ironmasters were formed in 1986 by musicians of the Border Morris and North West dance teams: The Ironmen and Severn Gilders from Ironbridge in Shropshire.
