Fifteen years ago Phoenix Ceilidh Band was born and the rest as they say is history.We’ve brought the joy of traditional  dancing with live music to all sorts of parties, gatherings and celebrations across the north of England.Tony Charnock led all but a handful of the four hundred and thirty eight ceilidhs, calling the dances from the floor with his own distinctive blend of charm and gentle humour.The band’s success is due in great measure to Tony’s hard work, judgement and personality.As Phoenix prepares to emerge from lockdown and get back on the road,Tony has decided to take a well earned rest. He’s made many friends as he called the dances and we’re sure they will want us to pass on their best wishes, along with our own, for whatever ventures Tony embarks on in the future.We now have a new caller,Dominic, who will take Tony’s place.

We now have a Facebook page, run by Alan ( some observant people may have noticed the camera !)  You’ll find some great pictures on there of our Ceilidhs. So go on there ,like us, and leave some comments.   PhoenixCeilidhBand@polkasandjigs4u

We sometimes get asked if people can come and see us before booking us for their event ( a great idea ) therefore we put two asterisks before the booking details on our gig list to indicate which are open events.

Get your party, anniversary, wedding or any event swinging with Phoenix Ceilidh Band.

We are an experienced 4 piece band playing lively foot-tapping Irish/Scottish traditional dance music and will tailor our repertoire to suit the occasion.
