Verified profile

I play with and manage a band who play predominantly English folk tunes for ceilidhs, parties, wedding receptions, birthdays, barn dances or any social dance event requiring lively folk dance tunes. I play for a couple of dance sides and, with The Ceilidh Band, perform with a resident caller who works with us.

Never been on a barn dancing event before, but I had such a great time on The Ceilidh Band night in The Bear Tavern, that I am definitely going to do it again. I would even go further and say that I cannot wait to do it again! It doesn’t matter if you’re going on your own, or as a couple, if you a great dancer or have no experience - you’ll still have plenty of fun and laughter (and achy feet the next day, if you not use to do any exercise like me ;), so if you haven’t tried it yet, I would recommend to get ready your most comfortable shoes next time The Ceilidh Band is in the neighborhood!
