The Navigation Band has been entertaining audiences for more than thirty years, with a line-up of English concertina, electric guitar and electric bass. Their repertoire is broad, emcompassing traditional and modern English, Irish, Scottish, American and European tunes. Their style is on the rocky/jazzy side of folk, and for dancing play mainly reels, jigs, polkas, hornpipes, marches and waltzes.

Charlie Corcoran is a regular caller with the Navigation Band.

In 2015 Random celebrated its 15th anniversary by playing many major Festivals & Ceilidhs at the end of which they decided to take a break for a while.

One member then retired, another relocated a long distance away which would have made rehearsals difficult while the others decided to take time out to explore different projects.

But now they're back with a refreshed line-up, having been extremely fortunate to have been joined by Penny Kempson on Fiddle, Adam Courthold on Drums & Dean Clay on Bass Guitar.

They join Paul Nye on Melodeons, who is from the original line-up of the band, passing on the style of the band and tune repertoire onto the new members, along with all memebers bringing new tunes to the band.

In addition to new arrangements of existing material there are new tunes, many of which have been written by Penny and Paul.

Ben Robinson is a new but increasing visible face on the ceilidh scene having worked festivals and ceilidh series as well as many private parties from Somerset to Yorkshire. Ben returns to Red Fox Ceilidhs to bring you some of the dances you know and love as well as some you haven't danced before.
