We formed in early 2005 to play at the Highside Folk Dance
club in Galphay, near Ripon, thanks to Andrew Bodey's enthusiasm. We were soon
asked to play for a dance for Ted Flexman from Sawley who was raising money for
a village project. We had to have a name and as we were sitting around drinking
our favourite beer, Roosters, it was an
obvious choice.
In September 2007 we were lucky to be playing for a ceilidh for Vision Aid
which is a charity that Roosters
(brewery) supports and thankfully they approved of us using the name. It is
still our favourite beer, a lot of it was consumed at said ceilidh. Thanks.
