KJ Ceilidhs: The Handpicked Team
Our Handpicked KJ Ceilidhs teams are a carefully selected group of trusted musicians, chosen by Kathryn Johnstone herself. Each member is a seasoned performer, experienced in creating perfect ceilidhs. These talented individuals have been handpicked for their skill, reliability, and ability to deliver a high-energy, unforgettable experience.
Unlike an agency, these are musicians that Kathryn has personally worked with and trusts to maintain the same high standards and energy she brings to every event.
When Kathryn is unavailable, you can trust that our Handpicked team will provide the same exceptional quality and vibrant atmosphere, ensuring your event is memorable.
This also means that your date is almost always available even if Kathryn is booked, thanks to a nationwide network of trusted musicians and ceilidh callers—including performers recognised by the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
If a Handpicked team is assigned to your booking, it will be clearly communicated before you book.
These details will be confirmed with you and added to the shop upon request.
