Whether it’s St Patrick’s, St Andrew’s, St George’s Day or Americana, The Coisir Ceilidh Band offer an enjoyable evening of music for dancing, songs for listening or a mixture of both.

They’ve performed their broad repertoire of traditional Irish, Scottish, English and Americana for audiences throughout the South East and beyond, at private functions, barn dances, ceilidhs, indoor concerts and outdoor festivals.

The band's frontman juggles an assortment of instruments including the bouzouki, mandolin, button accordion, mouth organ and vocals and is a powerhouse of a musician who can make a duo into a band and a band into something really special.

Within no time at all they had our guests, whether young or old, up dancing and generally making fools of themselves which everyone thought was hilarious! Mr. H. of Kent, Wedding

The frontman was also a former member of The Oyster Band and Gas Mark Five, his role in the band Fiddler's Dram and their 1979 hit single “Day Trip To Bangor” recently earned him a place on the TV programme "Never Mind The Buzzcocks"!

Their resident Caller (Cittern, Guitar, Vocals) has worked as a solo folk singer and with duos and bands in clubs, concert halls (Royal Albert Hall, Barbican, Queen Elizabeth Hall, QE Conference Centre, Snape Maltings) and at festivals (Sidmouth, Cheltenham, Chorley, Upton-upon-Severn, Towersey, Broadstairs).

He has also worked abroad in Canada, New Zealand and Europe. Chris (Concertina, Mandolin, Guitar, Vocals) has recorded for the Ladies in Lavender feature film with Maggie Smith & Judi Dench, performed on the TV Big Breakfast with Ant & Dec and made numerous other TV and radio appearances.

Jo & James, Wedding, Allington Castle in Kent, August 2024

“We were very pleased with the Coisir Ceilidh Band. They did all we asked of them and all our guests were quite impressed by their performance and material.”

John, Golden Wedding Anniversary in Kent, July 2024

“I just wanted the opportunity to say thank you to The Coisir Ceilidh Band, they were fabulous! I always dreamed of my wedding day with a wonderful 5-piece irish band, and they truly made my dreams come true The band were very helpful, listened to everything I asked for and did what was asked of them and more. Many of my guests had heard Irish music before and not liked it, but upon hearing the band they've changed their views and said how wonderfully entertaining, lively and fun the music that the band played was. They also played some beautiful songs that are very sentimental to myself and family, which was just lovely. I will definitely use you again and will recommend you to many parties, functions or family get togethers. Again, thank you to the band! You made my wedding day perfect!”

Melissa, Wedding, London, August 2022

“I am delighted to let you have my feedback on the Coisir Ceilidh Band. You answered all of the questions we had with speed and efficiency and were so much more helpful than others we contacted. The booking process was very straight forward and we were thoroughly pleased with the outcome. Coisir were just brilliant, so enthusiastic! So many people after our wedding commented that they had really enjoyed the dancing and music - it was a great way for all ages and abilities to get up and dance (or at least attempt too!) I would not hesitate in recommending them. Many thanks for all of your assistance.”

Julie, Private Party, Norwich, May 2022

“We hired Coisir to play and entertain at a themed Irish Night earlier this year held at our village hall. We found them professional, versatile, and accommodating to fit in with the programme that we had organised. We can highly recommend them to other organisations that wish to hire a group that is eager to please and professional in their efforts to do this.”
