Meet the Band
MEET THE BAND
Between us we have many years of experience performing, dancing and calling barn dances and ceilidhs. We are proud to call ourselves a 'fusion' ceilidh band as we pull together tunes and dances from all over the globe, fusing them with our own unique influences to create vibrant harmonies, completed with irresistibly toe-tapping rhythms!
NAI - fiddle + caller
Nai's country dancing days started in primary school and she started playing her fiddle for barn dances age 13. Regularly gigging with one of the very best callers in the South - Pete Hendy - she learned everything she now puts into practice calling. Moving North to study violin at the RNCM she discovered that the same set of dances were now called a Ceilidh, but her love for the music, playing and dancing were just the same!
Founder and band manager of High Peak Ceilidh, Nai now lives in Glossop, on the edge of the Peak District, with her hubby and 3 young children, and when not ceilidh-ing will most likely be found sewing or on the top of a hill!

High Peak Ceilidh is not an agency - these are our musicians and we will strive to have them at every booking. Very occasionally one member might not be available and we will hire another trusted musician with equally excellent skill. Booking High Peak Ceilidh also means that all of your money will go directly to these musicians, and not be swallowed by a third party agency.
