Ceilidh dances

We tailor the mixture and order of the dances to the event. For example, at a student ceilidh we would tend to play more of the faster set dances to make it a very lively night, whereas at a wedding we would have a more balanced mix of fast and slow dances to allow everyone to enjoy the night. If there are any other dances you would like us to include at your function, then just let us know.

We normally do a selection of the popular ceilidh dances, which include -
