Wedding Ceilidh at Cave Castle

Planning a wedding Ceilidh or barn dance at Cave Castle, South Cave, East Yorkshire?

The Hessle Ceilidh band is the perfect alternative to a party band or DJ at Cave Castle. They make for a fantastic party as it is a great way to get families and friends to mix and meet, and importantly all age groups love to get involved. The faster dances provide quite an energetic work out whilst more relaxed romantic songs provide plenty of scope for slow dances (and a bit of a breather!)

Ceilidh’s at Cave Castle are ideal for all social events including weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and retirement parties. They are particularly good ice breakers at weddings where people may be meeting for the first time. Ceilidh dancing can involve large or small groups of people and it is easy to pick up, experience is not required. The dances are pattern dances and may be done in lines, squares or circles. Many are progressive which means that couples change partners regularly during the dance.

The Hessle Ceilidh Band are East Yorkshires busiest professional Ceilidh band and have played at Cave Castle on several occasions. They can help you make your special day at Cave Castle a memorable and joyful occasion. For further information call Quentin on 07877434739 or email: hessleceilidhband@yahoo.co.uk

A Ceilidh in a marquee is a great way to celebrate a special occasion – it brings people together and is a great way to make a wedding, birthday, anniversary or retirement party a memorable and fun event – we can compere the event and even play special tunes like ‘Happy Birthday’, ‘Here Comes the Bride’ and ‘For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow’.

Why choose a Ceilidh for your Marquee event  – Well firstly it’s really good clean energetic fun with a broad appeal to all age groups.

We’ve played several events in Marquees and would recommend that you ask your Marquee supplier to fit some stage blocks and a dance floor – as some lawns can be a little uneven underfoot and grass can be a tiring surface to dance on after a while.

To contact the band email: hessleceilidhband@yahoo.co.uk  or ring Pippa on 7891 590111.

Once you’ve booked the band and explained the arrangements for the day mentioning any special announcements or musical moments that you want us to create you can relax knowing that the we can provide  provide the perfect entertainment for your special occasion.

Hessle Ceilidh Band are based in the East Riding of Yorkshire near Hull. We are a five to ten piece band including a dance caller. We have whistle, fiddles, recorders, melodeon, guitar, bass, piano, bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy, various percussion and sometimes shawm. Our gigs are vibrant and fun – for people who  like a good old Yorkshire knees up!

Whatever the event, be it a Ceilidh or Barn Dance we have a vast amount of music that will create the right feel good factor for your event ranging from Scottish, Irish, European, Medieval and the traditional music of England.

But the band is only half the story – the other half is the caller – the person who shouts the moves out and guides you through the dances – we are really lucky to work with an exceptional caller who is full of energy and can get people up and enjoying themselves in no time – the dances are fantastic and really help to build a party atmosphere.

Our caller knows loads of amazing dances that are really great fun – has also been known to throw in the occasional story and exceptionally funny jokes to give the dancers time to rest and catch their breath.

Can you think of anything we have missed I wonder? To contact the band email: hessleceilidhband@yahoo.co.uk  or ring Pippa on 7891 590111.
