A Ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) is
a hugely enjoyable form of music and dancing, suitable
for everyone, be they young or old. The music played
by the Scottish and Irish Ceili bands creates one
of the most inclusive forms of entertainment available.
In other words, everyone gets involves and this
intoxicating music is suitable for all ages. Anyone
who can 'walk' can take part, and absolutely no
previous experience is necessary. Our experienced
ceilidh bands perform throughout Yorkshire, Lincolnshire,
Lancashire and Nottinghamshire. These bands are
perfect for informal barn dance events, company
parties, fundraising functions, private parties
and of course, wedding celebrations. The live ceilidh
bands we have for hire, consist of musicians playing
specialist instruments (the type of instruments
that creates attention because they are rarely seen
at most events). There is also a caller. The role
of the caller is to encourage everyone on to the
dance floor and then to explain the dances. They
also often walk you through the dances, but you're
never expected to remember all of the moves....in
fact it's usually better if you don't. That's one
of the reasons why this for of entertainment is
more informal that some others. If you need some

Below we have listed our selection of
the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire based, experienced

| Chrissie Cullen Ceilidh
Band
The Yorkshire based Chrissie Cullen Irish
Ceilidh Band play music that will get you dancing.
It doesn't matter if you or your guests have never
been to a barn dance or ceilidh before, because
the movements are so natural and the dances so thoroughly
explained that anyone can do it. Chrissie acts as
chief caller, and her easy-to-follow instructions
are delivered in a light-hearted manner. She keeps
calling the moves during each song to help you along
as you dance. However, if you make mistakes - it's
all part of the fun! The music played by the Chrissie
Cullen Ceilidh Band is fabulous and when the band
is performing, sitting down is definitely not an
option. |
