The Hogs Back Band English Ceiligh and Barn Dance Band

The Hogs Back Band is a Surrey based English ceilidh and barn dance band.

A barn dance or ceilidh is truly sociable event that everyone can enjoy. It doesn't matter what age you are or whether you have done it before, just leave it to us. We provide the band, caller and sound system and with over twenty five years experience you are guaranteed a good time. Our musical style is lively and upbeat, with plenty of rhythm to lift the dancing.

We prefer to work within about a 30 mile radius of Guildford and play mostly for wedding receptions, schools, churches, residents' associations, charity fund raisers, company functions, village celebrations, flower shows, anniversaries, birthday parties etc.

It's so easy - all you need to do is arrange the venue and catering etc. and provide the people! If you need any advice - just give us a call!
