We have acoustic lineups who play authentic instruments like the fiddle, flute, tin whistle, accordion, hammered dulcimer and bodhrán drum, and who specialise in traditional Gaelic music such as jigs, reels, hornpipes, polkas, slip-jigs, strathspeys and waltzes from both Scotland and Ireland.

We also have a hand-picked selection of modern ceilidh covers bands for hire who add drums, electric guitar, electric violin and vocals to the mix, and are able to perform contemporary pop covers in the ceilidh style, as well as related hybrid forms such as English folk music, folk rock, Irish rock and traditional Americana and country music.

Old-time American barn dances are proving increasingly popular with FixTheMusic’s clients, and very much suit the rise of rustic and natural wedding receptions.

Alongside barn dancing and country music, our ceilidh bands also cater to line dancing, northeastern rants and other folk-related dance forms such as the Irish stepdance and set dancing. Of course, traditional Scottish ceilidh bands are the most popular option for weddings in the UK, so we list a hand-picked selection of the finest Scottish ceilidh bands South East England can offer.

Many of our musicians graduated from local universities and music colleges in the area and have extensive gigging experience at nearby venues, as well as across the rest of the UK.
