Welcome to
the Web Site of the Big Ian Petrie Band !!!!!!
Browse this
site to learn more about the Big Ian Petrie Band...working out of Kent in the
UK, the boys make up a folk rock and country dance band that perform
extensively across the country
Ian, Steve Shorey, Ted Handley
and Vince Herbert have been mainstays on the South East Folk club circuit for
over 30 years , together they bring more years of experience than they care to
think about in performing for ; folk clubs, festivals, barn dances, celidhs and
private functions. In recent years they have specialised in barn dances with a
little rock and roll thrown in!!. This has proved immensely popular at private
parties where the musical variety caters for all tastes.
You dont need to have attended
a barn dance before to have a go, and no you dont need to dress up..Ian and the
band have played hundreds of gigs for people who have never been to a barn
dance and they always have a great time - try something different from the
disco at your next party - have some fun!!
Ian's
solo performace pedigree goes back to the early 70's and he has had stints with
the Skinners Rats folk band and played the farthest reaches of the UK , with
regular forays to Belgium, France and Spain. Ian is available as a solo
performer, duo, trio or the full four piece depending on the engagement. Book
now for late 2009/10 or call Ian for a chat (about gigs
obviously!!)
