About Us

Green Ginger at Normansfield Theatre, Twickenham.

We have now retired from playing for live events but are always happy to discuss research into historical dance music.

Our band Green Ginger has Ian and Meryl Thomson on fiddles and Cas Sloan on keyboard. We play music dating from 1600 to today and include a lot of original Scottish fiddle music in our repertoire. We have played for Scottish Country Dancing, Regency, Victorian, Edwardian, other Historical Dances and other functions.
