Unforgettable Cambridgeshire Ceilidhs with Top Folk Musicians

KJ Ceilidhs is run by ceilidh musician and bandleader Kathryn Johnstone, who hand-picks some of the best folk musicians in the UK to create a band that’s both musically outstanding and tight-knit. With a strong core team that regularly plays together, every member knows each other’s style inside out—resulting in a truly seamless and energetic performance every time.

We’re proud to be based in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire, and love performing ceilidhs throughout the county. From the vibrant Straw Bear Festival to accessible ceilidhs at Darwin Nurseries, and community events at venues like the NCI Centre in Cambridge and Trumpington Meadows Primary School, we’ve brought high-energy folk music and inclusive dancing to a wide range of local settings. Whether it’s a school, care centre, village hall, or festival marquee, we know Cambridgeshire inside out and bring a warm, personal touch to every event.
