About

SONGS, STORIES AND DOWNRIGHT LIES

Dennis' style follows in the tradition of the great Scottish folk entertainers, where well chosen songs are interspersed with wit, banter and downright lies. His ability to get a whole room to participate is his strength and laughter is always one of the main ingredients. However, he can also surprise with an emotional rendition of some beautiful songs. He has an eclectic repertoire drawn from the best of Scots, English, Irish and American songs from traditional to right up to date. And, a great list of parodies to amuse and delight! There really is something here for everyone to enjoy.

Dennis can also be accompanied by the fantastic, internationally renowned accordionist, David Vernon for a fantastic Scottish show, with additional ceilidh dancing if required.

Dennis Alexander's show is fully self sufficient with quality sound system and stage lighting where required. Posters and publicity are also available. Stage dress can vary from full highland dress to travelling troubadour to suit the clients wishes.

Where are they based?

Dennis plays all over Scotland especially on the A9 corridor, Parkdean Holidays, Hilton Hotels, British Holidays, Haven Holidays and more.
