The Quiet Men are Oxfordshire (England)’s hardest working ceilidh band. We specialise in playing weddings and parties. We play a unique mix of
Scottish,
Irish and contemporary material ... such as
REM,
Crowded House,
Snow Patrol,
The Cure ...
Not many ceilidh bands play instrumentals and sing rock and pop covers. Even fewer pull it off with such professionalism and sheer FUN
Don’t let our name fool you – it's ironic because we're not quiet, nor are we all men ... not since Tara joined us on fiddle
What the heck is a ceilidh band?
A ceilidh is a celtic knees up. It's party with live music where everyone joins in, dances and has a great time. It's similar to a barn dance but, you'll be relieved to hear, it's not at all like a "line dance"!
Our expert caller, Dan, will guide you through the dance steps before letting you loose on "The Gay Gordons" or "Strip The Willow". He is patient and funny ... and a pretty mean bass player too.
Over the years we’ve played in all sorts of venues, including stately homes, hotels, pubs, clubs, village halls and marquees. Members have played at the Albert Hall (London), Blenheim Palace, Warwick Castle and appeared on national TV (on the same bill as Brittany Spears - I kid you not) and Steve D even appeared in the James Bond movie "The World is Not Enough".
So if you’re looking for a ceilidh band with attitude, talent and fun, book The Quiet Men now! Email us at sjwhite@easynet.co.uk
