Licence To Ceilidh

Licence to Ceilidh are a young and energetic five-piece band based in London and available for hire throughout the UK and beyond.

They have an extensive repertoire of traditional folk dances suitable for people of all abilities, and absolutely no previous dancing experience is necessary to take part. Their caller has many years of experience in teaching party guests how to dance the steps, and their unique mix of music from Ireland, Scotland and England is the perfect accompaniment.

Their line up of fiddle, flute, guitar, mandolin, drums, bagpipes, bodhran and double bass in various combinations gives the music an infectious appeal that will get you dancing in no time! If you have ever listened to a traditional session in a pub, you will have heard how one tune will lead naturally to another. The tempo and feel of these tunes are ideal for dancing, and have been used in ceilidhs for centuries.They are available for parties, weddings, birthdays and corporate entertainment and are also very happy to play to concert audiences though they won’t guarantee that they will stay in their seats...
