All Comers Band
The All-Comers Band plays for the Community Dance at 6:30pm. Anyone who plays an instrument (all levels of players encouraged) is welcome to join in. We've had as many as 20 musicians serenading the Community Dance! What FUN and a great way to hone your playing skills. A list of tunes sometimes played by the All-Comers Band is as follows: We try to add new tunes frequently.
All-Comers Band musicians may want to check out the Belfast Bay Fiddlers - Amateur musicians devoted to playing and sharing traditional fiddle music. All lead and rhythm players are welcome. Many of the BBF join the Flying Shoes Community Dance on 1st Fridays, and there's also a regular jam session every Sunday evening from 6:00-8:00 PM at Waterfall Arts, 256 High Street, Belfast, Maine. The site has tunes, gig opportunities and more!
