The Ceili are a Bristol born & bred three-piece band playing a lively mix of traditional Irish/Celtic acoustic music and folky arrangements of popular songs. Highlights have included headline performances at the England v Ireland ODI Cricket, the International Balloon Fiesta, Folkfest and the occasional whistle stop tour of Europe.
The Ceili have collected an impressive list of corporate customers including; Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, The SS Great Britain, The University of the West of England, Price Waterhouse & Coopers, K2 Sports UK, The Royal British Legion, Bristol City Council and South Gloucestershire Council.
Featuring Vocals, Guitar, Mandolin, Tenor Banjo, Melodica and Percussion. We promise nothing but great music and a great time. See you all soon.

"Once again, The Ceili will be entertaining with their mix of traditional Irish and Celtic acoustic music. As always they will be mixing it up with some creative, folky arrangements of more well-known tunes (no doubt the rather random inclusion of 'Zorba's Syrtaki' will have everyone on the dance floor attempting the Greek dance again). The Ceili are not just great musicians, the frontman's dry wit and observational humour makes for a night of all-round entertainment. Expect some laughs, some foot-stomping, hand-clapping, cheer-along songs and of course, be ready to join in with the choruses! It's great to see a whole room come alive, smiling, singing and dancing, and when The Ceili come to Mardons with favourites like 'Irish Rover', 'Duelling Banjos' and 'Tell Me Ma', that's generally what happens." Gig preview June 2015 by Jamie Long, Entertainment Manager, Mardons Social Club, Radstock.
