The South West Ceilidh Band

You are here:

The South West Ceilidh Band is a new barn dance and ceilidh band based in Somerset. I am the dance caller, which means I choose which dances people are going to do, I explain the dance before we start, and call the figures during the dance until everyone knows it well enough.

If you would like to book the band for your event please get in touch.

Barn Dance and Ceilidh

I call the dances and play percussion with The Four Foot Four, The South West Ceilidh Band and with a few other barn dance and ceilidh bands here in The South West of England. Contact me if you are organising an event, or looking for somewhere to go for a dance.

I work as a dance caller for ceilidhs and barn dances, so if you are organising an event, whether it be a party to celebrate a birthday or wedding, a pta, church or village dance, a festival or corporate event, please do get in touch. I have recently moved from Nottingham to Somerset, so I mainly work in the East Midlands and the South West, but am available to travel anywhere in the country.

The Bang On The Wall Band

The Bang On The Wall Band is a barn dance and ceilidh band based in the East Midlands. Martin Wildig and I formed the band in 1997 after the previous band (The ACME Dance Company) that we both played in folded. The band works with a number of different dance callers. Our main regular caller for many years was Laz Gilbert, but nowadays I usually call the dances myself.
