An eclectic mix of folk, rock and electric licks…

The name of the band is “The Gentlemen of iO” is taken from the name of one of Jupiter’s moons. iO was an ancient Greek princess to whom Zeus took a fancy. When Hera found out he was having a bit on the side, she went looking for her to exact revenge – so Zeus turned her into a cow…. as you do… Anyway, iO is a mysterious satellite, full of energy and volcanic eruptions – much like the band!

Gigging together now for over 30 years, The Gentlemen of iO bring an energetic mix of traditional English, Irish, Scottish and Breton music with a distinctive rocky edge. Dancers of all skill levels are welcome as each move is called from the stage – from beginners doing a doh-se-doh to the more experienced strippers of the willow – there’s a dance for everyone to enjoy on the night.

For the beer festival, we’ll be throwing in a few old classics to stir the memories of the revellers.

It’s not an American Hoe Down, and it’s not Line Dancing… It’s Ceilidh with a rockin’ edge. You’ll know when you’ve been iO’d.
