Strictly Ceilidh
This unique ceilidh act are able to produce a full sound with only 2 musicians making them a very affordable night's entertainment!
These two performers are both consummate musicians, each with over 30 years experience of playing in the worlds of folk, rock, pop and TV. With Malcolm, their caller and MC of choice they bring you the perfect recipe for your wedding or corporate event.
In their barn dances everything is explained by the caller, so total novices need not panic! They will present a night of music and dancing with ceilidh tunes, jigs, reels and hoedowns played on fiddles, guitars and Appalachian dulcimers with a sound much greater than the sum of their parts!
The duo met while both playing for the Steve Harley Cockney Rebel band.
Both musicians are fantastic guitarists and fiddle players but one of them can also play the bass using foot operated bass pedals at the same time.

We had the duo play background fiddle and guitar during our wedding reception. It was absolutely incredible and everyone really enjoyed it. The team were also brilliant ahead of the day, reaching out to confirm everything and liaising directly with the venue to ensure it all went smoothly, and taking the pressure off me as the bride. Fabulous, highly recommend!

Strictly Ceilidh were exactly what we were looking for. They were professional yet fun , punctual yet relaxed. Our village hall Irish night was great fun and many compliments were given to the band. We wasn't sure how the 'calling would go down with the attendees but it went down a storm!!!! We would highly recommend.

I wanted to say a big thank you more formally for Saturday night. It was a massive success. To think we were frightened people wouldn't take to the barn dance idea! We were falling over each other (which made it all the more entertaining) there were so many of us on the dance floor at the same time. Your music was brilliant and your caller made it such fun. We can't thank you enough. As you know there is so much to think about that your experience at these things helped enormously.
Thank you so much for your performance yesterday, the day was perfect for us. My husband had never barn danced before and when I asked him last night what his favourite parts of the day had been, the barn dancing was one he listed.
You were fantastic. Thank you so much, that was a real tonic for us all after such a hard term. Everybody was raving about you.
