Thank you to everyone who booked us and made 2011 another succesful year, we hope you all had a great evening with us. We had a great last gig with the 'Christchurch Family Church' and it was a really packed dance floor, which made sure we saw the year out well.
2009 with the new line up exceeded all our expectations and was our busiest year - until 2010, which turned out even better and then 2011 was better still. Thanks to everyone who has made this possible. 2012 beckons and bookings have been coming in steadily!
Click here for confirmed dates or pending confirmation - if your date isn't showing we are currently free. Our Facebook site has diary blogs from our most recent Ceilidhs, as well as pictures. You will see from the smiles on people's faces, it really is great fun for everyone!!!Get in touch for price and availability. We can be flexible with times, although we prefer not to work later than midnight (makes the weekend very short otherwise and when we return the baby sitter often has matchsticks in her eye lids) and prefer to work as a four piece band plus caller as we feel this offers the best all round entertainment and value for your hard earned cash. We can operate as a four piece including caller if we need to, but we do feel this has an impact on our versatility.
While you are here, have a listen to 'I know my Love', a traditional track recorded by Noeleen and Alex at home, which when performed by the band has an almost 'Celtic Calypso' feel to it. If you follow the Ezfolk link below there are some more music tracks to listen too.
