The music you are hearing is Jiggerty playing once through "The frost is all over" (an Irish jig).
About UsJiggerty is an experienced barn dance/ceilidh band based in the Bristol / Bath area, and comes complete with our own caller and PA sound system. We specialise in providing ceilidh dancing for weddings and other special occasions such as birthday parties and anniversaries. We are also available for community and charity events. We have played in village halls, mansions, marquees and boats (as well as a few barns!) – in fact, we can work with any space that is large enough for people to dance. We play a range of traditional Irish, Scottish, English and American dance tunes - jigs, reels, polkas, waltzes etc - using tenor banjo/mandolin/mandola, fiddle (violin), whistle/flute and guitar. Hear our sound by clicking on the music clips below. Our
caller fully explains the dances - firstly a 'walk-through' without the
music then calling whilst the band plays, until the dancers have no further
need for instruction. We intersperse the dances
with tune sets, so dancers can enjoy a drink and catch their breath!
For a typical booking, where most people are not that familiar with this
form of dancing, we have a selection of relatively simple, fun dances.
Alternatively we can provide a whole evening of traditional Scottish ceilidh.
If you would like any specific dances, please ask when you book us - we
are usually able to accommodate any requests. Our FAQs
page gives further information on dances. Read some testimonials from satisfied customers here Music clipsIf you would like to play a track, click on the button corresponding with the individual track. To download, right-click . Please note that each file is approx 5MB.
