Wayland Smithy

Wayland Smithy was formed in the summer of 2018 at a Ceilidh Experience session at the Stables Theatre, Milton Keynes. There were four bands constructed on day one of the session who after 6 weeks of rehearsal went on to play at a public Ceilidh at The Stables. It was a fantastic night and a good time was had by all both dancers and the bands. After the session we decided to stay together and see what else we could do. We all have a love for folk music but wanted to create a certain “Smiffy” sound by adding a little extra to some familiar and traditional tunes. More melody musicians have since been added to the band to create a musical experience loved by festival audiences.
