Cut A Shine....

Welcome to the new website for the Cut A Shine Hoedown Collective!! We are a troupe of musicians, callers, dancers and singers spreading barn dance mayhem across the country.....We host our own Barn Dance Parties in resplendent and underground venues across London, rip it up at the hottest summer festivals, and bring our brand of barn dance madness to many private events.

The Collective has expanded with spin off bands, nights and shows.

Cut A Shine TRAD: Fiddles, Banjos, Bluegrass, Old Time sounds and a right stonking knees up - this is all about the dancing.

Cut A Shine PUNK: otherwise known as Vic Doggart's Fun Time, this is a full on high pace, high octane, smasheroo of a show taking barn dance into whole new realm of punkabilly mayhem. Prepare to be wowed by modern sounds, high energy delivery and a genuine punk approach. Not for the faint hearted. This is not television.

Kidnap Alice are a new band reinventing Bluegrass into Soulgrass.
