For barn dances and ceilidhs in Devon and the Southwest, Red Shed are the band for any celebration

Devon Ceilidh / Barn Dance Band for the South West

Planning your Barn Dance / Ceilidh? Looking for a band and caller who will make it a success?

Red Shed will give you a happy evening to remember, full of fun with entertaining dancing for all.

Red Shed are a five-piece Barn Dance / Ceilidh band (and caller) from Devon playing exciting high energy traditional English and Irish dance tunes with a special twist; a solid backline of bass and electric guitar combine with a frontline of fiddle, sax and whistle for a unique combination of 18th-century barn and 21st-century global influences. As well as playing for weddings, parties and all types of entertainment, we have played Sidmouth, Cornwall and Wimborne Folk Festivals; Guernsey Arts Festival and Cecil Sharpe House in London ... and performed as far afield as Russia. When our drummer for 30 years, Peter Hamilton, retired in 2020 we felt he was irreplaceable, so we are now a drum-free 5-piece.
