Kingsfolk

Short Description

This is a well established ceilidh band that provides traditional folk music for barn dances, parties and weddings.

We provide vibrant, quality music that is guaranteed to get people up on the dance floor. The average age of our musicians is lower than most ceilidh bands. Instruments include drums, accordion, violin and bass. All band members have a great deal of experience of playing with different groups and some are professional musicians. Others come from other walks of life such as the financial services, IT, medical and education.

What to expect

A talented line-up of four musicians and a caller. All instructions for the well-known dances will be given by the caller. These may include The Dashing White Sergeant; Strip the Willow; Cumberland Reel and the St.Bernard's Waltz. Instrumental pieces and songs can be played during breaks. These may include Marie's Wedding and Loch Lomond. The standard programme includes a good range of Scottish music, but this can be adapted to give an Irish theme or a Wild West atmosphere. French Café songs by Edith Piaf can be played during meals.

FAQ

Usually set up in half an hour, but with sound checking and warm-ups we always allow at least one hour. A stage area of 5M x 3M is ideal, but we adapt to suit the venue. Two safe power sockets near the stage area will be sufficient. Yes, but we will only play a piece of music if it is in our repertoire.

Parents' Association Barn Dance at Hillbrook School

"Just wanted to say that we had an absolutely brilliant ceilidh at our school on Friday night. Kingsfolk were absolutely fabulous (great music and energy) and everyone had a great time, including people who had said they were not going to dance. At one point every single person in the room was dancing!"
