The BA Ceilidh Band

This band is a three piece outfit who can perform for a range of functions, including weddings, corporate hospitality, clubs, anniversaries etc. Between them they play an impressive array of acoustic instruments including fiddle, mandolin, banjo, button accordion, guitar, double bass, bass guitar, flute, bodhran, bouzouki and vocals!

The band will do their absolute best to meet your specifications, and will include "special" tunes for you wherever possible. The band's caller will guide you through the dances and make the evening accessible to everyone, regardless of musical experience. The BA Band have played for functions at the Millennium Stadium and for several National Music Festivals.

Wide ranging repertoire including English, Irish, Scottish and American. Two members of the band also write and perform their own music, often with a humorous twist!

If a larger band is required they can add a second fiddle player, making them a 4 piece band.

Testimonials

CorporateI want to thank you for arranging such a delightful trio to entertain all at our 10 year club function. I haven’t laughed so much in a long time. They are very good, professional, funny. They managed to get loads of people onto the dance floor even though the weather was great and people were sitting outside on the terrace. I would highly recommend Tony & his team. They certainly helped make our afternoon a huge success
WeddingI just wanted to email you to let you know how pleased my husband and I were to have Tony and his band come to play for us at our wedding. They were absolutely fantastic! the music they played was perfect, and Tony did an excellent job of getting everyone up onto the dance floor - even my 85 year old grandma! everyone gave us such positive feedback on the band. We really valued Tony and his band's professionalism and they were extremely helpful and positive throughout the entire process, from initial booking, contacting me to discuss our needs a few days before the event, to the night itself. They were totally brilliant! my only regret is that we didn't book them for longer!
WeddingI just wanted to say thank you again for playing for our wedding. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and so many people told us that they thought the ceilidh was fantastic. I just can't say thank you enough for the really memorable evening you made for us.
Surprise 60th partyThe band was excellent, playing the right mix of well known songs and instrumentals.The band were really adaptable and Tony was so reassuring and really put my mind at rest …with all the arrangements.
WeddingI just wanted to say thank you for providing the Ceilidh band or our wedding in Tetbury in April. The music was great, the band were friendly and the dances were fantastic. The games for the children were a great idea and I think everyone danced at one point or another - even my 88 year old grandmother was seen on the dancefloor! We had so many good comments about the band and they really helped to make an unforgettable evening.

WeddingI just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the music provided by Banshee at our daughter Stacey's wedding this weekend. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed which was just what we wanted. I would thoroughly recommend the band to anyone looking for a ceilidh.
Wedding"I just wanted to drop you a text to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding. You are a true entertainer and the band were amazing. You made our wedding! It was so much fun, everybody has said it was one of the best weddings they've been to as the ceilidh was so much fun and got everybody involved, even those that wouldn't usually be on the dance floor. You have the patience of a saint trying to organise a group of drunken people in to some semblance of a dance but it was such a good laugh and exactly what we were hoping for so again, a really huge thank you for all you did in making our day so memorable."

PartyJust want to say a huge thank you again for providing such beautiful live music and entertainment to my party on NYE. We all had a fantastic time and enjoyed the dancing a lot. My german friends and british ones too were all raving about it. They all loved it. They all said it was something very special , particularly the end when we were all holding hands. I found it a very moving moment. Many of my friends and family said that they never experienced such a lovely start into the New Year before. It will remain in my memory and in the memory of many others forever. Thanks a million.
PartyI just wanted to say a huge thanks you for Saturday night. You were all absolutely fabulous! You were so kind and patient with us all and judged the standard of our abilities brilliantly! I've had so many compliments about you and how much everyone enjoyed the band. I wish I'd asked you to play longer!! The standard of the music and all the different instruments was amazing. Thank you so much to all three of you, I couldn't have asked for a better band for my party.
PartyThank you and the band for playing at my birthday party. It was great and just what I needed. You read the crowd well and kept it going. It was nice seeing actual instruments being played and traditional music. I shall recommend you if anyone asks! Regards, Erika.
PartyThank you so much for making our Golden Wedding celebration so enjoyable for everybody on Saturday. Everyone said how good you all were and how much they enjoyed both the singing and the dancing. It was an evening we will remember always.
Ceilidh dayThe band were brilliant today! Please pass on our thanks. They pitched things perfectly and the children had a great experience. For me, the most magical part of the day was the coincidence that the children had learned Skye Boat song and could sing along. Wonderful!
