Ceilidh, Barn Dance

& Hoedown Band

Serving England & Wales

Probably the best value barn dance & Ceilidh band in the South West of England, Life Of Riley is  a

Forest Of Dean based folk band, from Coleford, Gloucestershire.

They play all over South West England & Wales, including Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire, Herefordshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Bristol & Cardiff.

Having moved to Glos from Edenbridge, they also still do bookings in Kent & East Sussex.

Although they are  usually classified as a Folk band, their musical style draws from a variety of Celtic, Folk and Country music sources - they like to mix it up a bit!

Thus they can cater for Barn Dances & Ceilidhs, or provide foot-stomping musical entertainment for parties & weddings, pubs & social clubs, folk clubs, banquets, Irish & Scottish theme parties etc.

Barn dances & ceilidhs are becoming increasingly popular for all sorts of special occasions, including wedding receptions, birthday parties, anniversaries & charity fundraisers.

Life Of Riley barn dances & ceilidhs are strictly for fun & for those who don’t want to take it all too seriously! No previous experience is required as they have an excellent caller & none of the dances are too complicated. The caller does a thorough explanation & practice walk-through

for you before each dance.

Songs or tunes are performed between dances to allow everyone to get their breath back.

With use of a special technique on an arranger keyboard, they sound like a 5 piece band, but without the price tag that goes with it.

If required, they can come with an optional fiddle player( then they sound like a 6 piece band ).

What’s the difference between a Barn Dance & a Ceilidh? - not a lot!
