Have I missed something? The most serious allegation from some on here seems to be that you book The Ship Band but a different band, or a scratch band, turns up on the back of a 'Ship Band' franchise. The Ship Band website shows a lineup that usually consists of three named individuals on fiddle, accordian, and guitar, plus a named caller, plus for larger occassions named individuals on drums bass guitar/singer. They claim to be good at several styles - English, Scottish, Irish. Where in this thread has it been demonstrated that this is not what you get? What's misleading here? The rest of it is just over-enthusiastic marketing, and an arrogant attitude, which is not exactly rare on Mudcat.
