the ceilidh bandidos

I can’t quite believe it but 2011 marks the 10th anniversary of The Ceilidh Bandidos. We’ve had the privelage to play in many of Argyll’s villages and towns, watched brides and grooms dance the night away and even made the odd trip out into the big bad world. It has been an absolute pleasure and we are sure it will continue to be as much fun.

We are planning some sort of celebration so watch this space.

All the best for 2011 and here’s to the next 10!

We are pleased to announce that The Ceilidh Bandidos are now a 5 piece band with the addition of fiddle player Chris Beveridge. Chris stood in for Christophe a couple of times this year and then she joined us all for a gig after that. We liked the sound of the two fiddles so much that we have asked her to join full time and she agreed. Happy days!

We have recently transferred the website to a new host and although the website moved smoothly we suffered an email outage. If you sent an email to either ‘stephen’ or ‘enquiries’ between 3rd and 6th November 2006 we would ask that you resend them. Sorry for any inconvienence.

As you can see I am currently working on the new website for the band. I decided to use WordPress as the back end as I wanted a more dynamic site that can be updated by any of the band members from any computer anywhere in the world. Continue reading »
