    It's a lively and sweaty barn dance this evening in deepest Devon!
    Tonight's SOLD OUT Barn Dance is about to kick off!
    We had such an amazing time at Kerri and Joel's wedding at The Hall in Exeter earlier this month! An absolutely up-for-it party crowd of friendly and fun-loving guests rocked the ceilidh about as hard as it was possible to rock it keeping the dancefloor packed all night. Amazing venue too! One to remember! @thehallexeter #weddingceilidh #devonceilidh

    We had an absolute blast recently taking the ceilidh vibes to Italy! We partied in a beautiful villa in the Dolemite foothills before spending a bit of time in Venice where we even bumped into our Plymouth musical buddy Mike who happened to be on a musical retreat at the same time. Need an international Ceilidh? We're always happy to jump on a plane! #ceilidhband #worldmusic

    What an absolutely insane party! We've been back to Cornworthy three times this year and we know how hard they party but nothing prepared us for Freddy and Lotte's wedding! We played a traditional folk session as the guests arrived, provided uplifting chorus songs for the ceremony, ceilidhed into the night and then rounded the night off with a rocking DJ set. A stunning location under the Devon stars and a hard partying crowd who didn't want to stop when we finished at 1am. And neither did we: the charming and persuassive guests talked us into DJ even later into morning - not that we needed much persuading 🤣 an unforgettable evening! #ceilidhband #weddingceilidh #devonceilidh
    Some epic Helicopters at last nights fabulous Dartmoor Barn Wedding! We played in a genuine barn as swifts, swallows and - later - bats soared overhead in a truly magical setting. Afterwards Christian by request got to play some old Northern Soul favourites as the guests danced til midnight. A magical abd unforgettable evening!
    We had an absolute blast at Ellie and Rupert's incredible Dartmoor wedding! A packed dancefloor for the ceilidh followed by an absolutely rocking disco into the night. What an unforgettable event! #dartmoorwedding #dartmoorceilidh #devonceilidh
    We'll be putting on a free family ceilidh tomorrow 26th May at the @freedomcommunityfestival, Freedom Fields Park, Plymouth. See you there! #ceilidh #familyceilidh #devonceilidh
