There is nothing quite like live music performed by a great group of musicians to ensure a great night out. After all after a few drinks everyone loves to get on the dance floor to show off their moves and having a live group of musicians perform for your function is certain to make it go with a bang. So whatever kind of party you are planning, be it a special birthday, wedding party, anniversary or just a reason to get together with friends a live group can make a big difference.

There are many different sorts of groups that you might book for your bash but if you want a great atmosphere and people grooving the whole night you will want one of the many fantastic Ceili bands to play for you. Ceilidh bands perform traditional country music for folks to get up and boogie to as well as some songs, humor and storytelling mixed in for good measure. The songs played by Ceili bands may vary dependent on where you live so Irish Ceili bands will have an alternative style from Scottish Ceilidh bands but the outcome will be the same-a great time for everyone. Each Ceili band includes a caller who will identify the dances and call out directions towards the dancers on the dance floor. He will start by giving a brief introduction to the upcoming song and discuss the steps which go with it and call out guidelines once the song is being played. Early on of the night the dances and the steps will be pretty easy and simple to do. However as the night goes on the music can become quicker and the steps a bit tougher to do. While Ceili bands are firmly grounded in the Celtic tradition, barn dance bands and Hoedown bands originate from the other side of the pond. However there are lots of parallels between the two with the two of them based upon largely traditional music with a caller calling the steps. You can have a Ceili or even a Hoedown in almost any location you like so long as there’s adequate room for folks to get up and dance and have an enjoyable time. Callers bands and also wedding ceilidh bands will provide their PA system and caller so all you have to do is choose a suitable location and fill it with your family and friends and have a good time.
