About us.
We are Swing the Bridge; the finest ceilidh band in Kent,
complete with versatile and well-rehearsed musicians and the best highly skilled and experienced caller to guide your guests through the dances, making sure everyone has fun, regardless of their ability. From weddings to parties or anything in between, we’ll bring energy and excitement to any event.
We pride ourselves on being an authentic band made up of a regular line-up of talented musicians who have worked together for over 10 years. Unlike some other bands who claim to be local, the musicians and caller featured on this website are the people you will meet at your event.
Our full 6-piece band showcases a rich and vibrant sound with accordion, violin, guitar, bass guitar, drums and caller.
We offer two sets of 60 to 75 minutes each, with a setlist of traditional tunes designed to keep your guests dancing all evening. We can even perform songs between dances to give your guests a rest.
We are fully equipped with a state-of-the-art PA system and lighting rig. All we require is a small table and access to a power socket.
Our ceilidhs are designed to be inclusive and fun for everyone and can adapt our dances to fit the needs of you and your guests. Whether you’re an experienced dancer or complete beginner we’ll make sure everyone feels comfortable and has a great time.
We are committed to making your event special and memorable with a friendly, professional approach to ensure a seamless experience from start to finish. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, hosting a corporate event, or tying the knot we’ll get your guests dancing.
Although we are not DJs, we are happy to play your personal playlist through our PA system to wind down the evening.
We have played at most major venues throughout Kent and far beyond to London, surrounding counties and Europe. Our caller has even toured New Zealand! Whether it’s your first ceilidh or your hundredth, with Swing the Bridge, won’t be able to resist dancing!
