Welcome to the official Rogues Gallery, country barn dance band website! Based in Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, we are available for dances, functions, weddings, fund raisers and more!! The Rogues are an eclectic mix of professional musicians, combining traditional music with modern influences. Rogues Gallery was formed out of the 'Pig in the Field' band in the late 1980's, and most of the current line-up has been together since 1991. The Music The music of Rogues Gallery is truly a melting pot of influences - traditional jigs and reels rubbing shoulders with a contemporary guitar based sound (with the odd 16th Century branyl thrown in for good measure). The lifeblood of traditional music has been evolution and adaptation to the modern world at a given point in time. Traditional instruments have changed with advancing technology - the pipe and tabor of the early middle ages was replaced by the three stringed fiddle (soon to become the four stringed fiddle) followed by the European import of the accordion and melodeon. So the past pointed us to move to a fully modern line up with the lead melody being taken by electric guitar. That said we do have guest musicians who play traditional instruments - some great arrangements have happened on the country and modern sets. That's progress for you!

So if you're holding a function and want a modern band with traditional roots give us a try (like over 200 other folks have!). Whatever your musical taste, we have something for you, the main point of the evening is to ENJOY YOURSELVES.
