Just got a reminder that these guys are playing in Sydney tomorrow night 28th March. A great band. Sadly I won't be in town so if you manage to get along let me know how it goes. I see merro has posted an event notice with a clip. Worth a look. http://www.thesession.org/events/display/1390/comments
What do you think?
Not that I know of. Coast Ceili Band and another one called the Corner House played at a festival I was at last year. They both sounded good. But I don't know of any others. There was a Canberra Ceili Band once I think but I haven't heard of them for a while so maybe they folded. I've heard the Coast guys play a few times now and I really like the sound.
Ceili was a great night - though I would say that because I'm in the band Dancers had a great time and so did the band. Danced (the dancers not the band thank god!) 8 sets including the Ballyvourney Reel set which we dedicated to the memory of Seamus Creagh who passed away recently. One of our band members family runs An Teach Beag where Seamus played regularly. We've all had a few tunes with him or heard him play at various times when we've been over there and so it seemed a fitting thing to do. He will be missed! Night ended with our signature Plain set which is is great favourite with the dancers who all totally went off!!
By the way Dos, glad you like our music. You can join our mailing list if you want. Just shoot off an email and hope to see you at our next Ceili on 23rd May unless you'll be at the NFF where we are also playing.

Re: Coast Ceili Band
Thanks for that dos. Great music but you can't see much of the band for the dancers. Do you have many ceili bands in Australia?
