Rhythmic Reelers Ceilidh Band are a popular and versatile traditional band known for their lively performances. They play live Irish, Scottish, English, and American music, along with dance and songs. They can perform as a duo, a six-piece band with amplification or acoustic instruments, and they can perform with or without a caller.
For a ceilidh, which is a traditional social event with music and dancing, the band typically consists of four musicians and a caller. The caller teaches the dances from scratch, so no prior experience is necessary. Ceilidhs are a fun way for people of all ages to come together, mix, and have a good time.
The band was founded in 1998 and has had many successful years. They have even performed for famous personalities like Mick Jagger and Robert Smith of The Cure. Some of the celebrities they have entertained include Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Zoe Ball, Frank Skinner, Clive Anderson, Ian Hislop, Stephen Fry, Alan Davis, Dara O'Briain, Sanjeev Bhaskhar, Meera Syal, Aimi MacDonald, Bert Weedon, Jon Snow, and Imelda Staunton.
