Thread Name: Ceilidh Bands?
Subject: Ceilidh Bands?
Hi there - I'm looking for some advice
We are in the process of putting together a day of traditional English activities to take place on the riverside walkway on the Thames at London's SouthBank.
I'm hoping to put up a stage and run a free Ceilidh on the walkway.

What I need is some recommendations for Ceilidh bands that are going to appeal to the rather cynical and jaundiced tastes of Londoners. Whapweasel aren't available on the date in question - but its that sort of thing - a band that uses something a bit more modern and upbeat than the conventional instrumentation and tunes.

Any suggestions?
