If you are looking for a truly unique twist to your wedding, party, festival, wake, celebration, fundraiser or event of any kind, why not book Yellow Goose Dance?

Our fees are very reasonable and vary according to your needs. Book for the band plus a dance teacher for a full-on event, just the band, or maybe just a smaller acoustic-style ensemble. Fees are generally negotiable, and we are happy to offer discounted rates for community and charity events.

If you are looking for a wedding dance package check out our dance teacher Tristan Edgar’s studio at https://www.tristandance.com/

We have a full PA with sound engineer and can arrange additional playlists to supplement the live band where required.

Based in Huddersfield, currently working across the North, and happy to go further afield. Whatever your needs, get in touch and we can work something out to suit you.

From time to time we run projects to include more people in the joy of singing and dancing. We are currently working on a project called Human Earth that combines short provocations about the state of the world, an animated story about the Supreme Cow and a series of quirky songs performed by our glorious, full throated band of songsters. We would be delighted to sing in your front room, at your gig, in your mums care home, your community event or your party. Just give us a call. Also, let us know if you want to get involved.

Electronic Press Kit

Yellow Goose Dance serves up a unique blend of original live music and real-time dance tuition in a range of Latin & Ballroom styles, a kind of hip Strictly. A 10 piece band made up of sizzling horns, sumptuous harmonies and sinuous dance moves combining seamlessly into a brilliant night-out. Formed in late 2015 from a range of highly experienced and hugely talented musicians from the region they have sold out a series of self-promoted events, played at weddings, parties, festivals and events across the region. Dress fancy and wear slippery shoes. It’s a sweaty and joyous experience.

Yellow Goose is the bastard brainchild of Phil Russell, longtime composer, musician and songwriter of a string of eccentric, wildly catchy and infectiously rhythmic tunes. He went to learn how to dance and figured he could do better. In cahoots with dance teacher Tristan Edgar, and a marvellous bunch of musicians, he did.
