Many of the original Border Dances from the English side of the England/Wales border are often similar and seemed to vary from generation to generation. The same can also be said of the instrumentation used to accompany the dance. This has lead to many sides, including the world famous, Shropshire Bedlams, to re-invent dances to suit their dance style and the particular group of musicians that they have to hand. Mayhem are no different.
Our music is a mix of our own tunes and traditional tunes and we’re D/G friendly.
