Out of Hand are a 5-piece Ceilidh Band. No longer the new kids on the ceilidh scene, you'll find us playing most major ceilidhs and festivals, as well as bringing that special something to weddings and private parties! Please note - we don't accept gigs with less than three months notice. We have a resident caller and full PA system, including a mixing desk; so will be very willing to play at any festival ceilidhs, weddings, barn dances, parties & more if you want us. We are putting modern twists on traditional tunes with our electric musical equipment and fresh ideas to give a thumping, danceable rhythm that will keep you going all through the night. With our self-written tunes and arrangements of songs, we're bringing our unique ideas to playing for dance and making it our own. We have a CD available at gigs so come down and have a chat. Members: Penny Kempson - Fiddle Stuart Duncan - Whistle Will Sartin - Mandolin Richard Portlock - Bass Guitar Chris Campbell - Drums
