event, barmitzvah or any event of your choosing.
We do not substitute band members with any other
musician who happens to be available.
It might be a cliche but…
…WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET!

There are at least three ceilidh bands, that we know of,  claiming to be….“The UK’S Leading Ceilidh Band” We make no such claim but who is to say we are not?!  It’s up to you Contact us: 07813 202503 swingthebridge711@gmail.com and tell us whether we’re the UK’s leading ceilidh band!

• We play lively traditional tunes in a fresh,  modern way often coupled with a more up to date tune or  song which might offer one or two surprises and…..

• To enhance the atmosphere we have our own lighting.

Disco Packages

• We encourage our clients to book our ceilidh band and  a separate disco package. While it might seem, in booking  a ceilidh/disco package, that the total cost of your  night would be slightly cheaper than booking them  separately, we do not pretend to have the know-how of a  dedicated and experienced DJ and we do not compromise  simply to make more money. It is important that you have  the very best entertainment and experience that we can  offer. We are a ceilidh band. That’s what we do best.

• However, clients are welcome to play their own music  through our pa system via ipod etc.
