Chameleons is an experienced barn dance / ceilidh band based in the Oxford area.

Chameleons has a flexible line-up, drawn from the membership of top Festival dance band, Geckoes. The five-piece Geckoes line-up (plus caller and sound engineer) is often too much for smaller local events where space for the band, time to set up, and perhaps money, are at a premium.

Chameleons evolved to fill this gap. With just three musicians plus caller, and a small, quickly assembled PA system, Chameleons could be the perfect choice for Weddings, PTAs, Scouts, Guides, Tennis Clubs, Birthday parties etc. etc.

The usual line-up is drawn from:

Andy Cheyne - acoustic guitar, mandolin, fiddle

Andy Turner - anglo-concertina

Dave Parry - melodeon

Tom Miller - guitar, keyboard, mandolin

with Caroline Butler - caller, fiddle

However Chameleons is designed to be a flexible band, and this line-up may vary - we have worked with many other good local musicians, such as John Spiers, Dave Townsend and Dick Wolff.

Other callers who work regularly with Chameleons include:

Alan Simpson
Will Hall
Mike Courthold
Mary Panton
Chris Pitt
