Great folk dance rhythms from the British Isles and beyond.
We are a 4-5 piece Ceilidh Band. Together with our expert dance caller, we guarantee a fun evening of dancing, catering for people of all generations and abilities.
Far and away the best exponents of traditional dance music for miles around and leagues beneath.
Amiable and fun, catering for all dancing abilities.
The band comprises:
Graham Brand (concertina, cittern)
David Cornelius Eger (fiddle, whistles, mandolin)
Peter Timmins (fiddle, cornet)
Matt Watson (guitar, whistles, jews harp)
Richard Osborne (guitar)
Based in beautiful Mid Wales, we have played together for over 10 years and are much in demand for ceilidhs and twmpathau throughout Wales, the Borders and Midlands.
With English and Welsh tunes at the core, our varied repertoire spans Europe and North America, enabling us to accompany dances from the liveliest jigs, reels and polkas to stately bourrées, waltzes and an dros - and even the occasional East European circle dance.
Working with a number of different callers, we can tailor our set to your needs, with an emphasis on Welsh dances and tunes if requested. We are also happy to provide music for non-dance events.
Happy dancing!

Alice Earp Thank you very much for running an amazing ceilidh for my 40th birthday party. Even the people who vowed they weren't going to dance were soon on their feet! Thoroughly recommend booking them for a fab evening of fun and frolics. 🕺 🎻 🎶
Anne-Marie Pope We were greatly impressed with the bands and professionalism when we booked them in 2016. They led a wonderful ceilidh and other musicians in the room at the time remarked on just how wonderful they were! We hope we might be able to work with them again in the future.
Sue Parry Utterly brilliant night of entertainment. Thank you, you were fantastic, a treat for the feet. Our guests had a wild night of great music and dancing. Highly recommended!
Sarah Milner-Barry It was truly a pleasure to have them as our ceilidh band at our wedding! They were so easy to work with from initial contact to confirming final details, and they made the night so much fun. We've been asked a couple times about 'highlights,' and my partner and I both agree that the celtic knot was probably our favourite moment - it was incredible to see all the faces of our loved ones whizzing by! Can't recommend them highly enough
