PHOENIX CEILIDH BAND

What is Phoenix?

Phoenix is a band that provides a whole evening’s entertainment. We specialise in ceilidhs for weddings, birthdays, church events and other gatherings. We have full public liability insurance cover which is often a condition of room hire agreements.

What do I get for my money?

You’ll get an evening of fun dancing to lively music. Hopefully you’ll go home tired but with memories of a great night. We bring our own PA system – all you have to provide is space for the musicians and their kit, a 13-amp power socket and a group of friends/family willing to join in.

Who are Phoenix?

The band’s members have played with other bands over the years. We came together to form Phoenix in 2006.

Where are Phoenix based?

We all live in West Yorkshire so the north of England is within easy reach. Any reasonable request of travel will be considered by the band.

What sort of dances do Phoenix do?

We do a large selection of country dances from England, Ireland and Scotland. The selection covers the whole range from easy through to complicated, just tell us what you want. We have our own caller(s) who will explain the moves.

What sort of music do Phoenix play?

As a dance band, we play traditional tunes from Ireland, Scotland, England and further a eld. Our music is played on instruments such as ddle, ute, accordion and bouzouki. Our sound is acoustic but, unless you want an “unplugged” performance, we play through our own PA system so that we can provide just as much or as little volume as you want. We have our own unique sound with roots in Irish traditional styles.
