Professional Yorkshire ceilidh band with a caller, available for weddings and all kinds of public or private events. We provide a complete package with ceilidh band, caller and all our own sound equipment as needed. We're used to playing for all kinds of crowds so don't worry if you've never danced before; our experienced caller can get a room full of complete beginners up and through a full night of ceilidh dances.
The band includes fiddle, accordion and percussion. As well as the full 3 piece band we also offer smaller line-ups - a duo or one man ceilidh band. See booking info for more information and prices.
