Ceilidh band

Brandon

Public liability insurance of £5 million

Inside the box is the Ceilidh project of highly respected fiddle player James Delarre, Alex Goldsmith and top Ceilidh caller Andrew Mussell, primarily going out as a duo with caller. This fantastic Ceilidh band reunites James Delarre (Fiddle) and Alex Goldsmith (diatonic button accordion) two founder members of the awarding-winning folk band Mawkin (and the spin-off Mawkin:Causley). The two have delighted audiences around the world on stage and TV and regularly work with other high profile artists including the Mercury Award nominee Eliza Carthy, Jim Moray plus the popular Anglo French supergroup Topette! A friendly caller – Andrew – completes the core line-up and will ensure that everyone is encouraged to get up and dance and they will know what the moves are – well, roughly at least… it’s always the chaos that makes a ceilidh most fun!

Inside the Box 's Reviews

“THE BAND WERE AMAZING! Honestly they completely made the whole event for me – I did every single dance (and paid the price the next day!).. Such an amazing sound and Andrew [caller] is incredible!” Lorna & James, wedding bride and groom (2021)

“I was very pleased with the band and everyone loved the music and dancing. The band were fun and professional. They managed the time very well even though we started a bit late due to still munching the hog roast, It really made our wedding day complete to see everyone charging around and having fun. Perfect!”
