Great fun with easy to learn dances. No previous experience required. Talented musicians with experienced caller. Inclusive and suitable for all ages and abilities.

With the help of an experienced caller, OddSox will lead you through a carefully chosen selection of traditional dances drawn from all over Great Britain and beyond.

So many people commented about how good you were
Just wanted people to say thank you again for the music you played at our wedding on 9 April in Berkhamsted. So many people commented about how good you were and everyone enjoyed the evening. We had a perfect day. Thanks again

What a fantastic workout!
Just a quick note to say a big thank you to the band for a great night on Saturday - I think we are all just about recovered from the dancing, what a fantastic workout it was! We were let down by quite a few people not turning up on the night but that didn't stop people joining in and having a fantastic time - lots of people have contacted me since to say what a great time they had, especially wives who had never seen their husbands dance! I emailed Bob on Sunday morning as we missed him going (we were still on the dance floor doing the Macarena)! Thanks again, hope to see Oddsox somewhere again sometime ...

It was so much fun, the music was brilliant
I just wanted to send you a note to thank OddSox for the most fantastic ceilidh on Saturday!! It was so much fun, the music was brilliant (what seriously talented musicians!) and I think we got nearly everyone on the dance floor at some point!! All our guests were really impressed as were we. Thank you again for a wonderful night - one to remember forever.

Fantastic Music and calling at our wedding
Thank you very much for some fantastic music and calling at our wedding. We all had a brilliant time - our guests are still talking about the dancing. One very proud cousin and his girlfriend danced every dance. I think the rest of us were pleased to have been able to dance every other one. Thank you also for the help you gave us before the day. We appreciate all of the behind the scenes work that went toward the perfect evening.
