Welcome back to Oxfolk Ceilidhs with our 2025/26 season opener!Climax Ceilidh Band is a high energy dance band. They have been making dance floors tremble at festivals and ceilidhs for nearly 20 years, and putting smiles on the faces and feet of dancers all over the country. They have evolved into a three-piece of driving rhythms from accordion and stomp box, the raw power of sax and bagpipes, and soaring solos of the guitars and mandolin. The Climax Ceilidh Band experience is truly outstanding. The line-up is Chris Walshaw (Folk Dance Remixed, Oscina) on sax and French bagpipes, Tom Evans (Midnight Patisserie and duo with Harriet Barton) on accordion and Bruce Knapp (MoltenAmba and Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain) on guitar and mandolin.
Tina Morris is a lively, friendly and inclusive caller with all the dances. She calls regularly for the Cotteswold Country Dance Band. Tina uses non-gendered calls.
Doors 7.30pm, dancing from 8 until 11pm.
There is a licensed bar with ale, cider, wine and soft drinks.
