About us
The band enjoys playing a mix of Irish, English and American folk songs and has earned a reputation for providing fans with a great night out. From the sing-a-long quality of songs like “All For Me Grog” and “The Black Velvet Band” to the instrumentational delight of tunes such as “The Countess Cathleen/The Women of Sidhe” and “Lord of the Dance” Ruff ‘n’ Ready have one goal in mind - to
entertain.
Between them they play banjo, guitar, bass, piano accordion, mandolin, bodhran, penny whistle and keyboard with additional percussive input from cymbal and tambourine.
Although based in Lincolnshire playing at festivals, clubs, pubs and village halls, plus numerous private functions, the band has also played at prestigious venues further afield such as the Tower of London and Clontarf Castle in Dublin.
A unique aspect of many of their gigs is the band’s partnership with the Grantham School of Dancing. Dancing as The Irish Wolfpack the girls from the Grantham School of Dancing provide a visual treat with their beautifully costumed and choreographed mix of Irish, tap and acro styles all danced to the live music of Ruff ‘n’ Ready.
