Barn Dance Agency, Ceilidh Organisers, Barn Dance & Ceilidh Bands, UK

Welcome to JIGS 'N' REELS barn dance and ceilidh information site - everything you ever wanted to know about organising a dances, ceilidh's or hoedowns in your area.

 

'JIGS 'N' REELS' is an experienced agency specialising in arranging barn dances and ceilidhs throughout the UK for all sorts of occasions. Based in the West Midlands.

The agency was set up by Chris Mulvey (see right) who has been 'calling' for dances since 1980. All the bands we represent are 'live' bands which include a 'caller' who acts as MC for the whole event.

The main duty of a caller, of course, is to 'call' the dances - by way of brief explanation (the 'run-through') of the next dance before the music starts up and during the dance itself by 'calling' the moves as reminders for the dancers of what to do next. He knows that most, if not all, dancers have very little or no experience of folk/country dances, IT'S IMPORTANT to keep moves simple, especially early on, and adapt the dances to suit the abilities of the dancers. SO DON'T WORRY IF YOU HAVE NEVER DANCED BEFORE!

Whatever the occasion, be it a wedding, celebration, corporate event or village fete we have the band to fit the bill.

If you want a great band for a fantastic ceilidh or barn dance, give us call on (01905) 424411.
