Jiggerty is a lively, beginner-friendly ceilidh/barn dance band that gets everyone dancing! Well-established in the Bristol/Bath area and also covering South Glos, Somerset, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and occasionally further afield, the band come complete with their own highly experienced dance caller, PA system which meets electrical safety requirements, and Public Liability Insurance. We specialise in providing ceilidhs for weddings, birthday and anniversary parties, and corporate events - with fun, inclusive dances that encourage mixing, it's a perfect activity to get family and friends of all ages socialising together, and work colleagues bonding.
Our lively music and clear dance instructions guarantee an enjoyable evening - see our testimonials if you don't want to just take our word for it! We have a fixed core line-up including caller, so you can be confident that what you read reflects what you will get - this isn't always the case with other bands. You will find Jiggerty to be professional, personal and flexible, providing you and your guests with an occasion to remember.
The caller will choose dances to suit the audience and occasion, drawing from the related traditions of Scottish Ceilidh & Irish Ceili (both pronounced 'kay-lee'), Welsh Tympath, English Barn Dance and American Hoedown (please note, this doesn't include line dancing). We are happy to accommodate any special requests, such as to focus only on traditional Scottish ceilidh dances, or to match a cowboy/barn dance theme. Our FAQs page gives further information on dances.
If you would like to see us perform before you book, check out our Blog which has details of any upcoming public events. However we are almost exclusively a private function band, with the majority of our bookings being for weddings which we do not feel are appropriate to use as opportunities to view the band. We recommend booking on the strength of our Testimonials and Videos, including those to be found on our Facebook and Instagram, rather than miss out.
