Welcome to Bloatertown Country Dance Band

Bored with discos and quizzes?

How about an English Country Dance to lively music.

Bloatertown is a well established 'English Country Dance' band based in North Devon. Our name is taken from an area in Barnstaple where kippers and bloaters were once smoked.

We the five band members don't just love to listen to the traditional English music but also love to play it. And have been at the forefront of English Traditional music in North Devon for nearly 30 years.

Our Regular Caller

Our caller John Blackburn has been associated with the band from the start and in 2005 was awarded the Devon Folk Award.
