About The Irish Ceili Band – professional Irish & Celtic band based in London
The Irish Ceili Band are a group of the most talented and vibrant young musicians from the London area and is available to play Irish, Scottish and traditional music for any event, from ceili dancing and private events to corporate functions, weddings and barn dances.
Céilí dancing (also known as Céilídhs) is suitable for people of all ages and dancing abilities – céilídh dances have become an extremely popular highlight of many events and functions.
Fun, sociable and easy for anyone to join in with, céilís provide a focal point for the event as well as being a great way for your guests to interact and get to know each other!
Our callers provide step by step instructions for your guests. Before you know it you will be reeling and jigging away to the finest music from All Ireland Champion musicians.
The Irish Ceili Band performs regularly for corporate events, weddings and functions. We have performed on many occasions for example at the Irish Embassy in London and for Tourism Ireland.
Once an organiser has experienced our professional and well-organised manner, we are regularly re-booked for functions.
We can also provide an acoustic duo or an acoustic band to perform live Irish traditional music – the best way to hear Irish music in its raw acoustic soul. It’s a bit like a jam, but better!
If you are having a small party or want a great Irish or Scottish ambiance to your event, why not contact us to play foot-stomping tunes and create the real folk vibe that is the traditional music session!

"The Ceili was great – all the guests loved it and we did too. It made the evening! The band were so flexible and they changed the sets to make it work for the venue and what the guests were doing. The room was pretty hot so non-stop dancing wasn’t really possible. Throughout the process they were professional and always contactable, and it was really good to speak with Tad on the phone. The music was really beautiful too, and my dad (an Irish accordion player) was impressed. He said that the sound was fantastic and created a great atmosphere."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"We chose The Irish Ceili Band after extensive research looking for Ceilidh bands for my husband's 50th birthday party. They provided a great atmosphere to get everyone on the dance floor, ranging in age from two years old to the young at heart. Communication prior to the event with Tad was very responsive and clear. I had no worries about being let down at the last minute or any surprises. The band showed up on time, provided amazing music and went through the dance moves clearly. I wouldn't hesitate in booking The Irish Ceili Band again for another event."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"“The Irish Arts Foundation has worked with the team from The Irish Ceili Band on a number of occasions – it's a partnership we intend to maintain. When we need top class performers in the south of England, they are always high on the list. In the world of folk and traditional music you need to be careful: there are alot of ‘pretenders to the the throne’. The guys from The Irish Ceili Band have the distinction of being on top of their game musically as well as professionally – a rare blend.”"

Verified booking on FixTheMusic"We booked The Irish Ceili Band for our wedding in Kent. Tad was absolutely fantastic from the off, providing a speedy and competitive quote, and answering any queries I had all the way up to the wedding. The team arrived on time to set up, were very mindful of not interrupting any of the proceedings, and gave us a wonderful night of music and dancing. They were always accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you all!"

Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Well what a cracker of a céilí that was! The Irish Ceili Band played for us at our wedding and the buckets of sweat that were dripping off our guests in the chill of the evening just about says it all about how fantastic they were! The music – fantastic, the caller – brilliant (and hilarious) and communication leading up to the day – couldn’t have asked for more. We (and all our guests – they are still talking about it!) had an absolute ball at the céilí you put on for us and we highly recommend The Irish Ceili Band!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"The Irish Ceili Band are an incredibly talented group of musicians. Their technical skill was clear from the moment they opened our party, but along with that came a vibrant and personal approach to entertaining the room. All of our guests were up on the floor dancing and they truly made the night!"
