Ceilidh bands perform traditional country music for people to get up and boogie to coupled with some songs, humor and storytelling included for good measure. The music played by Ceili bands can differ according to where you reside so Irish Ceili bands may have an alternative style from Scottish Ceilidh bands but the result will be the same-a brilliant time for everybody. Each Ceili band will come with a caller who will identify the dances and call out instructions for the dancers on the dance floor. He’ll almost certainly start by giving a short introduction to the following song and discuss the steps that go with it and call out guidelines when the song is being performed. At the beginning of the evening the steps will probably be relatively uncomplicated but more complex and intricate steps will be introduced as people become more comfortable with the dances. Barn dance bands and Hoedown bands are similar to Ceili bands in many ways. Like Ceili bands they come with a caller to name the dances although the music is of course in the American tradition. However there are several similarities between the two with the two of them influenced by largely traditional music with a caller calling the steps. You may have a Ceili or even a Hoedown in almost any place that suits you so long as there is enough room for folks to get up and dance and have an enjoyable time. Callers bands and also wedding ceilidh bands will provide their PA system and caller so all you must do is choose a suitable location and fill it with your friends and family and have a great time.
