About

We play a mix of original and contemporary Irish, Scottish and English folk music. As well as folk, our individual influences include classical, jazz, country and reggae.
 

You can book us to play at your birthday, wedding, party, pub or festival. We have been playing across the country for a number of years and have experience of playing for a variety of different events and occasions. If you are looking for Scottish Ceilidh Bands or a Barn Dance Band, please contact us today.
 

Our sound is as much suited to a small, intimate, Irish venue as it is to a barn dance in a large concert hall or open air venue, and we are able to gear our line up to the requirements of your event.
 

We are the Ship Band. One of the UK's leading Ceilidh bands that guarantee to bring a touch of Gaelic flair to your event and make sure you have a night to remember. We perform at Ceilidh events and functions all over the UK and take bookings for any private or corporate function.
 

Originally descended from the Gaelic word for ‘gathering’ or ‘party’ the word Ceilidh (kay-lee) literally describes a social gathering of Irish and Scottish folk music … Basically a fun filled night of wild dancing, good music and great atmosphere!
 

The beauty of our ceilidh or Barn Dance events is that everyone is encouraged to take part, young or old, experienced dancers to beginners and even those with two left feet! With our fusion of varying musical influences there will be a mix of tunes to suit any crowd.
 

Our usual four piece line-up includes guitar, fiddle, accordion and a "Caller". Our professional Ceilidh band caller will be with you every step of the way to walk you through the moves before each dance and will continue to call out helpful hints through-out the rest of the dances - creating a truly unique experience.
 

Having a Ceilidh is the perfect shin dig! Whatever the occasion, from Weddings and Birthdays to Corporate Functions or Student Nights!
