Freds Folks Ceilidh Band has been active in the Nottingham area and surroundings for many years. Whether you call it a ceilidh, a folk dance, a barn dance, a Celtic event or RiverDance look-alike, we do it! Read about our history and style, and listen to us and see our music on this web site.

See also photos of people enjoying our dances and photos of us playing at dances.

After extensive testing of lots of boxes at Accordions of Coventry, looking for the right sound, the right response andthe right feel Eric bought a Vignoni accordion with MusicTech microphones and midi.As a straight acoustic box it is wonderful, with great tone and response, and a good action. You can really feel that you are in charge of the box, not the box restricting your style. The MIDI will be useful particularly when we're missing a bass player.
