The Bristol Ceilidh Quartet is a Bristol ceilidh band bringing together three English folk fiddlers and a fab cellist to make a big string sound with loads of energy and drive.  We take great tunes and create exciting arrangements exploring the dynamic range of the string quartet.  This isn’t serious classical music though, all of us have spent many years playing for traditional dance; every tune is calculated to get feet tapping and people on the dance floor.

We are available to play for ceilidhs and barn dances at weddings, festivals, ceilidh series and other events throughout the year. Please get in touch if you’d like more information!

We are now booking festival appearances for 2025! More information here

STOP PRESS! We are excited to welcome fiddle and viola player Deb Chalmers to the band in 2025! You can read more on our Musicians page and watch this space for new photos and videos soon.
