Guerrilla Ceilidh started life on the festival circuit in 2013. Since then we have evolved into a professional ceilidh band for public events, weddings, birthdays, and private celebrations, who can still occasionally be found ambushing festival-goers with our pop-up dances. We combine the boisterous energy of a festival with the warmth of a traditional tune session in your favourite pub, and add over a decade of experience playing professionally together.

We have played for every size and style of ceilidh from small groups to gigantic parties to sellout gigs. Lauren Spiceley and Giles Lewin bring the tunes on fiddles and other melody instruments, John Ruddock drives the rhythm on guitar, Tom Green adds irresistible groove on trombone, while Steph West gets everyone dancing as our regular caller. We all live in Oxford, and you’re just as likely to find us in a local folk session as on a summer festival stage, providing exciting and energetic ceilidh dancing throughout Oxfordshire and beyond.
