About

Fairgreen Ceilidh Band offers foot-stompin' wedding music based out of Norwich, in England's Norfolk region. This lively three to four-piece ensemble knows how to bring the perfect barn dance atmosphere to life with their catchy tunes. Included in the band are the classic fiddle, guitar, bass guitar, drums, mandolin, and of course, a caller to keep things running smoothly. Their caller has been working with ceilidh bands for over 15 years and has over 100 weddings under their belt. Together, their aim is to give couples and their guests the best fun and frolic on the dance floor and endless happy memories to cherish forever.

Services Offered

Fairgreen Ceilidh Band boasts a carefully curated repertoire designed to keep the dance floor packed. While they're known for their traditional ceilidh dances, including Galopede, Buttered Peas, Circassian Circle, Strip The Willow and Dashing White Sergeant, they're happy to consider your favourite dance or song. Whatever your style and flavour, they'll work with you to create a tailor-made experience. When your big day arrives, the band will arrive with a high-quality PA system, stage lighting, and their celebrated caller. All they need is a space to play, a power supply, and a table for their equipment. In addition to an evening of ceilidh dancing, they can offer drink reception instrumental sets, PA hire for a post-ceilidh bop using your device/playlist and all-day background music & wireless mic hire.
