Climax Ceilidh Band are one of the finest modern folk dance bands in Britain. The band prides itself on its fine mixture of highly original and innovative self-penned tunes and traditional material, with the emphasis always on making ultra-exciting dance music. Climax really does sound like no other ceilidh band. The driving rhythm of the accordion and guitar, the sweet sound of the dancing fiddles, the swift trill of the flute and the power of the pipes makes the Climax Ceilidh Band Experience truly orgasmic!
