The Old School Band specialises in playing for ceilidhs, barn dances and hoedowns, and have appeared at several major folk festivals. The band's danceable and foot-tapping sound is based on a variety of instruments - melodeon, banjo, bouzouki, mandolin, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass.

The sole aim of an Old School Band ceilidh, hoedown or barn dance is a good time for everybody. We can guarantee an enjoyable and fun-packed evening of jigs, reels, polkas, waltzes and hornpipes - a really good night for all generations!

The Old School Band have played for ceilidhs at several major events including:

Fylde Folk Festival * Accrington Clog and Dance Festival * Clitheroe Great Days of Folk * Otley Folk Festival * Maryport Shanty Festival * Southport Bothy Ceilidhs * Wiggince Ceilidhs * Golborne Phoenix Ceilidhs * BBC Music Live * Fallowfield Arts Festival * Preston Guild 1992.
