Hi Fran

A big 'thank you' to the band and Liz for last night.

* The more tangly people become in the dancing, the more hilarious it all becomes - both for dancers and watchers.
*  Most people present at Devil's Fire events have never been to a hoe down in their lives.
* The band members are all very talented musicians and their rocky hoe down music  is massively appreciated throughout all generations

Email from Danielle, organiser of Mum's party at St Annes ex Sevice men's club on SAT 25/8/2018

Hi Fran, We had such a great time and really got into the spirit of the party. My mum was thrilled!!!!!
I just wanted to let you know that. Thank you and also to the band once again. They were very patient but I expect they have to be at such events ha ha. Couldn’t recommend the whole thing enough. We’re still “dining out” on the whole night. 


All the best Danielle x

Hi Fran,
Please can you thank the band for their brilliant performance on Saturday night. They were genuinely fabulous and everyone has been raving about them since.

What a great 2014 - barn dances galore

Devil's Fire has had a great 2014, which has seen us playing for village hoedowns, weddings, charity fundraisers, birthday parties, sports clubs - you name it. I haven't always been 100% on top of keeping this blog up-to-date, so if I have missed blogging about your event, then do pardon me. We are playing on new year's eve at a local private gig and then that wraps up a busy year. We already have work piling up for next year. On behalf of all in Devil's Fire we wish you a happy 2015.
