We are available for hire anywhere within a few hours drive of Sheffield. All of the dances are explained by a dance caller and can be done with no prior knowledge or skill. We work with several different excellent callers.

Ceilidhs are suitable for all ages, from small children to senior citizens. We bring and operate our own public address (PA) system.

We are happy to play for as long or short as you like, but our general suggestion is that a ceilidh be composed of 2 sets of 60 minutes, with a break in the middle, so 2 hours dancing in total.

We are flexible, professional musicians who are expert in many styles of music. If you want anything in particular, just let us know.

We are influenced by the folk music of England, Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, France, Finland and Eastern Europe as well as by rock, classical and jazz.
