Ceilidh Band in Wales

The Backroom Band is one of the most experienced and lively ceilidh bands in Wales.

This Ceilidh band from Aberystwyth, Ceredigion has been getting people dancing in mid Wales and beyond for over 30 years.

Our music and dances draw on the rich traditional folk repertoire of Wales, Ireland, England and Scotland and will light up your barn dance, wedding celebration or event. We perform a mixture of songs and instrumentals when dancers feel the need for a break.

If you’re looking for wedding or party entertainment that will get people involved and break down barriers, you’re looking for the Backroom Band. Young or old, Welsh or English speaking, seasoned dancers or people with two left feet – our experienced, bilingual and enthusiastic caller will get you on the floor.

Mae’n fand Twmpath o Aberystwyth, Ceredigion wedi cael pobl ar eu traed yn dawnsio ers 30 mlynedd. Mae’n fiwsig a’n dawnsio yn tynnu ar draddodiadau gwerin o Gymru, Iwerddon, Lloegr a’r Alban as fyddai’n goleuo’ch twmpath, dathliad priodas neu digwyddiad. Rydym yn perfformio cymysgedd o ganeuon ac offerynnau pan rydych eisiau toriad o’r dawnsio.

TESTIMONIAL

“It was a personal pleasure to hear real musicians performing to such a high standard at such an event”

Backroom Band Testimonial“Dear Andy
This is just a short note to congratulate you on Saturday night’s performance and calling.  I am still aching from the unusual muscle groups I was required to use.  It was a personal pleasure to hear real musicians performing to such a high standard at such an event, and the interlude pieces in particular were played with great feeling and sensitivity.  I hope you and the band enjoyed it too.”

Best regards
