Frog on a Bike Ceilidh Band

One of the UK's top ceilidh bands, Frog on a Bike provides high spirited and energetic ceilidhs for weddings, parties and corporate events across East Anglia, as well as appearing at various major folk festivals nationally. Frog on a Bike have been playing together for over a decade and have over 100 years of combined musicianship between them. The band also doesn't use a 'pool' of musicians as many other ceilidh bands do, so they work together like the finest watch mechanism! Frog on a Bike's repertoire is rooted in English folk, however, plenty of Scottish tunes and dances (especially for Burns night), Irish and even French tunes are always thrown into the mix, just for good measure. With their rhythmic folk-rock style and enthusiastic playing, Frog on a Bike has delighted crowds at ceilidhs, weddings, parties, conferences, barn dances and festivals throughout the UK. Every ceilidh is unique. So whether they’re playing for festival crowds or wedding guests that have never danced before, their caller knows exactly what it takes to guide you through the dances so you have an evening you won’t forget. Frog on a Bike's vivacious line-up is led by melodeons, fiddle, mandolin and recorder, backed up by bass guitar and a full drum kit. It's a huge sound that is guaranteed to get you up and dancing. Testimonials: "Dance to your heart's delight!"  Chris Leslie (Fairport Convention) "This is certainly a band I would like to hear Live" The Living Tradition Magazine "We have a bit of a treasure here with these guys" Sue Marchant, The Folk Show, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire "If you're local to Cambridge, you may well have already expirienced the treat that is a ceilidh played by Frog on a Bike." Cambridge Folk Festival December 2019, Elaine, Christchurch, Wisbech: "HUGE HUGE thanks to Lyn and the guys for a most amazing evening. Oh what fun we had. You were absolutely brilliant and I can't thank you enough. I finally managed to drag Christchurch residents out of their comfort zone for one evening and I think they loved it! The band arrived early and set up quickly. They played, almost non stop, the most amazing music and encouraged dancing and fun. We had an awesome night and would highly recommend them for a fun night of non stop dancing! Will be in touch when we have the next one! Great fun, keep up the good work!" November 2018, Emma Hancox, a greatful bride: " Excellent band! They were professional and helpful but also laid back about everything, which I really appreciated! My guests also commented on the fact they played so many instruments so well." October 2018, The Round Freshers Ceilidh, Cambridge: "Very many thanks to Frog on a Bike. You were awesome! At the Reel club ceilidh last Monday, there was a great band, and enthusiastic dancers, but very few of them, which seemed a poor omen. However, I needn't have worried – what a contrast last night! More than double the numbers, a complete sell out!  A great start to the year, with lots of freshers having a fantastic time, dancing to your music. Many thanks from me and the Round. Annette" February 2017, Cambridge: "I wanted to thank all of you in Frog on a Bike for playing at my birthday party. I have had many messages and comments of appreciation from my friends about what a great band you were, what a great find the band was, how people loved all the sociable dancing, and even some ceilidh regulars said they did many dances they had never done before! Roll on next time! Best wishes, Caroline" September 2016, Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge: "On behalf of the Fetal & Neonatal Physiological Society, I wanted to formally thank you for taking care of the FNPS and making it such an enjoyable and successful event. Everyone went away from the Ceilidh and hog roast event still dancing and extremely happy. The music you provided was so well received and really added to the festivity of the day. Many thanks once again for your support. It was highly appreciated. We hope to see you again in the not too distant future! With best wishes, Kristin and Dino Giussani FNPS Conference Organiser 2016"
