Ceilidh dancing is great fun, and it's what we do best! We've got a wide range of experience across different styles of events. From small weddings to huge parties, we can tailor our dances, music and format to suit your wishes.

Nothing gets people dancing like a Ceilidh. Whether it's the old favourites like the Dashing White Sergeant or Strip the Willow, or perhaps it's a new dance you've never come across before, they can be a great way to make new friends and fill an evening with fun, laughter and good music.

Our musical style is a unique and energetic blend of Scottish, Irish and English folk tunes, with the occasional folky pop arrangement thrown in for good measure. All the while, our caller Eliza will guide you through the dances, ensuring everyone can feel included and able to join in the dances.

We're based in York and Durham, but are happy to travel around the North East of England to help make your event happen.

We bring everything we need, including a full PA set up, and it's all included in our fee, so there's no hidden charges or extra hastle.

Email us at enquiries@parakeetband.co.uk and get in touch to find out about what we can provide for your event.

It was great fun doing Ben and Beth's wedding at the Belfry Hall in York, congratulations to you both!

We had a fantastic time at Jeremy's leaving bash yesterday. It was lovely to see such enthusiastic dancing from everyone!
