APPLEJACK is based in and around Teesside they can travel to neighbouring counties, including Yorkshire, Durham, Northumberland and Cumbria. All types of venue can be catered for, from small pubs to large halls. Between the band they own two P.A systems one they use for small venues and one for large venues, so to get them started all they need is somewhere to plug in.
Do you know of anyone getting married this year? If so then why not suggest a Ceilidh?
It's a good way to break the ice, and get to know your new in-laws! At the same time you can keep fit and
have a good time.
So whether it be the Cumberland Square Eight, Gay Gordon's, the Dashing White Sergeant, or Strip the Willow,
or you're requests APPLEJACK are the band for you.
When you are having a breather of course they always throw the odd tune, even a song to keep you entertained.
