Welcome!

If you’ve found our website it might be because you’re looking for a ceilidh band for your event.

The Freedom Fields Ceilidh Band performs for all events including weddings, festivals, fundraising gigs and parties and we’d love to play for you. Between us we’ve performed at hundreds of events and know how to create a memorable occasion that leaves your guests smiling.

The band repertoire draws upon a rich heritage of traditional folk music, featuring a wide selection of infectious English, Scottish and Irish folk tunes to get you moving on the dance floor. You can hear how we sound in our media section, or better still, come and meet the band and see how we perform and interact – we live and breathe traditional music and can be found most weeks playing in one of the many traditional pub folk sessions in and around Devon.

If you want to know more about ceilidh’s and how a ceilidh works, we’ve written some articles which you can find in our Ceilidh Articles and FAQ pages.
