About Rejigged Ceilidh Band

Dance to the liveliest Ceilidh Band in Kent. Appearing at the Dickens Christmas Ball, Rochester; Canterbury Music & Broadstairs Folk Week.
Ceilidh band
Ramsgate
Public liability insurance of £10 million

As the name suggests, our musicians have come from a variety of other folk bands. Each member has in excess of 10 years' experience playing folk music in different bands. Likewise, our caller has many years experience calling for dances and is both a folk dance teacher and he writes new dances for barn dances and Ceilidhs. This means that our dances will be different from any other band and likewise, the music will be fast and lively, giving you an evening which is full of fun and excitement. Our caller often thinks of it as 'party games to music'.

These guys were absolutely brilliant from the booking stage right the way through to the superb performance. They were a delight to deal with and totally professional whilst still being friendly and fun. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Bob Dench (Captain at Rochester and Cobham Park GC )

We hired Rejigged for our wedding reception. The guests all loved joining in and learning the dances. Best decision of the day (other than saying I do) was hiring them.
