Venues and the public

Contraband is normally a five-piece band with an occasional guest caller and/or additional musicians as and when required.

The band is based in Kent.
A popular Ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) or Barn Dance can include; Shannon Bells, The Bridge of Athlone, Drops of Brandy, Flying Scotsman, Gay Gordon's, Strip the Willow, Haste to the Wedding, The Dashing White Sergeant and many more.

Take your partner by the hand and spin across the floor to the instantly memorable tunes.

Music is provided by a traditional Ceilidh band with instruments which can include
accordion, fiddle, bass guitar, 6 string acoustic/electric guitars, drums, keyboards,
lighting and of course a very experienced caller.

Although Contraband is an English Ceilidh band, the type of music is not restricted to traditional English folk tunes, we play Irish, American and Scottish tunes as well.

The band will always provide a Caller, who will talk everybody through the steps first, allowing any beginners to join in the fun.

Our music can be adapted for either the experienced dancer or a newcomer to a Ceilidh evening.

Clients can consult the band in advance for any special requests.

Sample tracks of the band can be heard on our website.

Want fast, lively Scottish music? Then you need Scotch Mist – the professional 5-piece Scottish country dance alter ego of Contraband!
