There are two contra-dance bands called Roaring Jelly:
-
Roaring Jelly in Massachusetts
-
is a Boston area contra dance band that has been
playing together (in one incarnation or another) since 1970.
We play for a monthly dance in Lexington,
and appear occasionally at other dances in the area.
We also have a facebook page.
-
Roaring Jelly West in New Mexico
-
is in the Los Alamos / Santa Fe / Albuquerque area, and plays
for contra, square, Scottish, and other related styles of dancing.
-
Roaring Jelly East
-
is a new group that seems to be mostly running jam sessions in the Eastport, Maine area.
-
Years ago, there was a singing group called Roaring Jelly in Australia,
but they seem to have disappeared, though some of their recordings may still be around.
