Established for fifteen years, The Ceilidh Allstars is a collective of London based internationally renowned musicians. With a Phd in Irish music, fiddler Hazel Fairbairn and seasoned guitarist John Lawson are joined by Mark Russell and caller Mary Panton, who has led dances for Princess Ann and the Houses of Parliament amongst others.

Dedicated to high quality traditional dance music with a party attitude, they place the emphasis on audience enjoyment and participation. The Ceilidh Allstars specialise in Irish, Scottish and English Ceilidh dances where a ‘caller’ explains simple, group folk dances.

Ceilidhs are an ideal way to break the ice at weddings, conferences or functions where people may be meeting for the first time; no previous experience is necessary and all ages can join in the easy dance steps!

Equally at home in a barn or a ballroom, the Ceilidh Allstars will provide punctual, polite and professional musicians to suit all occasions!

Line up:

3-piece
Hazel Fairbairn - Fiddle
Mark Russell - Bodhran
John Lawson - Guitar

4-piece

The 3-piece band are suitable for background music e.g. drinks receptions, whilst the 4-piece (with the addition of a caller) are more suitable for dancing.
