Biography

Wraggle Taggle Ceilidh Band, outstanding talent from the North London traditional music scene, can tailor a band to your particular needs - anything from a duo to a six-piece, amplified or acoustic, with or without a caller. All the musicians have been performing, touring and recording many years and two are award-winning performers. Wraggle Taggle specialise in Traditional Irish, Scottish, American and English music, songs and tunes. They play with innovation, flair and vitality. Musical influences include; The Chieftains; Planxty; The Bothy Band; Altan; Ally Bain; Boys of the Lough; Jimmy Shand; The Pogues; Van Morrison; The Dubliners, Christy Moore and the many talented friends they have met over the years in the vibrant traditional music scene The band are both sensitive to the occasion and responsive to the mood of the audience. If you wish Wraggle Taggle can concentrate on one particular style e.g. Scottish or Irish throughout the performance. An example of a duo would be guitar/vocals and banjo. Their accordion player can be brought in to enlarge the band. Other instruments such as fiddle, flute, tin-whistle, double bass or snare drum may be added. Speciality instruments such as Scottish bagpipes, Irishpipes, bodhran or traditional dancers are also available. The Wraggle Taggles' most common format for a ceilidh consists of four musicians plus a caller who will teach the dances from scratch - no experience needed! A ceilidh is something really different and ideal for a successful party, as it is a fun way to get families, friends and colleagues to mix and meet and because all age groups become involved.

Wraggle Taggle provide quality wedding reception and corporate entertainment and are also available for parties, festivals, pubs, clubs, ceilidh dancing, and functions.

"I can’t thank you and the band enough for your performance last night (25th January 2011 Tuesday Francis Holland School, 39 Graham Terrace, London SW1W 8JF). The music and dancing certainly made the evening. You were right - I think the office will be talking about it for weeks! Thank you once again. I’ll certainly bear you in mind for any future events. All the best"
