The AF Barn Dance/ Ceilidh Band

The musicians that make up the AF Ceilidh Band have been plying their trade throughout Devon for over twenty years and played at hundreds of weddings, parties, barn dances, festivals and celebrations of every kind. Whether it's Irish, Scottish or English music, the band have a set that no party can resist. Along with the best callers in the South West, a barn dance with this band makes for a truly special occasion.

They play English, Irish and Scottish traditional folk music with a dash of East Europe to spice things up occasionally. There's no party that's been able to resist their joyous, infectious music!

Small band, big sound - how do they do it? Well, they have a top class PA system but there's no substitute for experience when it comes to playing for dances. A ceilidh needs musicians who can play with precision and also react to the dancers to create a great atmosphere and a truly memorable event. A ceilidh is a great way to bring people together, all generations, all nationalities, all abilities. Don't worry about having a dancing partner either, the caller will organise "sets" of people who dance together so everybody can join in the fun.

Testimonials

PartyWhat a fantastic Band. Lovely music - the caller got everybody dancing and laughing - was able to accommodate a wide age range. Thank you for making my 50th fab!
Wedding"The ceilidh was a great way to get everyone up and dancing. The caller was very good especially seeing as we had a number of non English speakers at the wedding who had never even seen a ceilidh before! The band is highly recommended and was a great addition to our wedding day."

Wedding"Hi. We just wanted to say the most enormous thank you for playing our wedding on Saturday. We loved every second of it, as did our guests. It was great to hear some tunes we know well, and several that were new to us. And lots of people commented on how good the calling was. We'd be very happy to provide a positive feedback quote for your website if that would be helpful. Many thanks!"
Wedding"Just a quick (and slightly belated) email to say thank you so much for the fabulous job you did at our wedding celebration on 9th April! We had so many positive comments from our guests, many of whom thought you were the best Ceilidh band they had ever come across. It really made the event special, and we are so grateful! All the best, Sarah."
