This KGB is not a spy organization, but a band from Seattle that plays for New England style contradance, English Country Dance (as MI-5), for concerts, and private functions such as wedding receptions. We write a lot of our own music, and the rest comes from all over the world: the British Isles, French Canada, the Northeastern USA, Western and Eastern Europe, South America, the rest of the USA, and places we haven't yet identified. We are:

Julie  King     - piano
Claude Ginsburg - violin, concertina, viola
Dave   Bartley  - mandolin, guitar, cittern, etc.

On this website you will find news and upcoming dances and concerts, information about recordings we have released as well as a book of original tunes written by members of the band, find out who we are, collectively and individually, read about where we have played and the nice things people have written about us. Finally, you can also follow some useful links to webpages about how contradances, contradancing, folk music, and what have you.
