The Eclectic Ceilidh consists of fiddle, mandolin, keyboards with optional drums . Having played in 'traditional' ceilidh bands for some time, Anne & Hugh came to realise that many of today's dancers want something a little bit different for their event - be it a wedding or anniversary, Burns Supper, birthday celebration, corporate event, or charity function. Hence, Eclectic Ceilidh Club was formed!
Ceilidhs should be great fun! But not just for those who are already familiar with the dance steps. Aside from the music, the 'secret' of a great ceilidh is in the dance 'calling' where, in just a few minutes, people who have never danced at a ceilidh before find that they can learn the steps with ease. Bt we go one step further! Not only do we 'call' the dances, we also get in among the dancers and demonstrate them. Our approach is always to put people at their ease - it doesn't matter if they don't get every step right. The main thing is to participate and enjoy themselves.
Included in our price is the option of a disco of your favourite tunes run through our sound system.
