Packed dancefloors, laughter all night, no one left sitting out.
Our ceilidhs are designed to spark energy. The caller brings people in with humour, so even the shy ones get stuck in. We’ve played birthdays, anniversaries, and garden parties - every time the dancefloor ends up rammed. And because we handle the sound, lighting, and setup, you’re free to focus on enjoying the party instead of worrying about logistics.
Think you’re ready to book a ceilidh band? You’re only a few steps away.

Here’s a sample timeline of how a party ceilidh band can slot into your night, with time for dancing, a break for food or drinks, and the option to carry on with a disco or DJ until late.
For Sally’s 50th at Widcombe Social Club, our two-piece with caller packed the floor from the first tune; the caller kept everyone moving without “tying ourselves in knots,” and the band were “super friendly and professional.” Sally’s video testimonial says it all:
