Storming onto the festival scene in 2024, Definitely Contraband supply addictive dance music through the fiery fiddling force of Martin Clarke and Nicky McConkey, laced with heady beats from Ben Filmer-Sankey on guitar and banjo, and Tom Evans on bass. Their high-energy dance grooves and boundless enthusiasm make for an intoxicating evening!

They are joined by the superb Charlie Turner to call the dances - one of the country's leading ceilidh dance callers. For something a little different for our June event, our dances will have an American contra theme, dances typically in long sets with beautiful flowy figures.

***AND*** Special guests to be announced

This is a fun and inclusive evening of music and dancing. No experience necessary - all the dances are carefully explained. Come with friends or by yourself - it's a great way to meet new people. Bar provided.

Waterloo Ceilidhs is a leading ceilidh series at St John's Church, opposite Waterloo station. Featuring some of the country's top ceilidh bands and callers, we bring inclusive and high-energy ceilidhs to the London music scene.
