ConTradition
Dave Brown plays Fiddle, Julia Day
on Keyboards and Shane Day on Accordion. Shane and Julia ConTradition are
equally at home with their inspired approach to Playford through to an
exciting, driving Contra style.
Described by Mike & Gill Swash
as “…one the best bands there is,” and by a leading American caller
as “…providing superb music …being the key to the success of the evening
… representing the highest level of achievement and showing a professional
attitude ….oh! … And you guys are lots of fun to be with as well!!”
How can you not have ConTradition for your
next dance event? ConTradition enjoy playing at festivals,
such as Eastbourne, Sidmouth, Chippenham,
Broadstairs and residential dance weekends such as those run by Mike and
Gill Swash in Symonds Yat. They will also play for anyone – including Colin Hume! (Smile!)

Meechan.
- - "Dave
Brown's Band now re-incarnated as Skylark were superb. I don’t know what
made them choose that name, but the music certainly soars like a bird.
It is so easy to dance to........... The music throbs and
pulses...." Colin
Osborne (2005)
- "...................the
very first dance by the new band SKYLARK ........ was pure brilliance!!
It always looked as if it was going to be good but until it happened
.....The rock(ing) steady rhythm section of Dave (H), Mark and the
creative piano playing of Elaine created the ideal drive for Dave and
Kathryn to show what brilliant musicians they are. They were trading
solos and improvisations with the best!!"
