Cadellin
English ceilidh band
Cadellin are a young, lively ceilidh band who play for English ceilidh dancing with a wide repertoire of tunes from around the British Isles and Europe. We regularly play for various private events such as weddings, birthday parties and social events, as well as at public ceilidh series. Band members live in Sheffield and Derby so our 'local' area is South Yorkshire and Derbyshire, but we are willing to travel outside this area, particularly for weekend bookings.
We come with our own caller, PA system (fully PAT tested) and sound engineer. The band and caller are equally happy to provide ceilidhs both for audiences who are completely new ceilidh dancing and for those who are more experienced dancers. Please contact us if you would like to know more.
Cadellin are:
Ceri Ashton - flute and whistle
Charley Roberts - guitar
Graham Knapp - percussion
Ian Roberts - melodeon
Josie Wexler - fiddle
