Contrasaurus are a high-energy contra dance band from the Midlands, known for their inventive take on traditional tunes and their irresistible dance groove. With a lineup featuring fiddle, accordion, double bass and guitar, this dynamic quartet brings a fresh, powerful sound that keeps dancers on their feet and grinning from ear to ear.

Their name may be prehistoric, but their music is anything but fossilised—bold, rhythmic, and full of life. Blending tight arrangements with joyful improvisation, Contrasaurus deliver a contra dance experience that’s as exhilarating for listeners as it is for dancers.

Catch them at Bromyard Folk Festival for a toe-tapping contra workshop on Saturday, followed by a full-tilt, high-octane Contra Dance on Saturday evening in the Dance House.
