What’s a Ceilidh?

The meaning of ceilidh is simple: an evening of delightful dancing to a live band. We use experienced callers to take you through all the steps. When the music starts, so do you!

It’s a great way for your guests to cut loose and have some fun. Ceilidh dancing is perfect for weddings and parties, as nobody is left out and it gets everyone moving. There is a reason people have been ceilidh dancing for thousands of years.

We specialise in Scottish, Irish and English ceilidh. By special request, we can even perform as an American barn dance band.

We booked Bowreed for our wedding in August '24, and it was a magical experience. Fred was so helpful with the arrangements, and the band was brilliant on the day. The calling, music, and dances were perfect, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the ceilidh.

Bowreed played at our wedding in August 2021, and they were beyond amazing. The ceilidh was the highlight of the night, getting everyone up and dancing, even the newbies! We also booked the disco package, and it was perfect to use our own playlist for the later part of the night.
