Our Musicians
Our musicians are the heart and soul of KJ Ceilidhs, each bringing unique skills and passion to every performance. Here’s a glimpse into what makes each of them special:
Solo Bagpipers
Based near Ipswich, Doug looks after some of our bookings across Suffolk and the surrounding East Anglia region. A versatile and expressive piper, he is equally at home performing traditional marches as he is adding grandeur to weddings and special occasions. His friendly presence and strong piping style make him a favourite with audiences, ensuring every event feels both authentic and unforgettable.
Trevor is our go-to piper for events across the South of England. With years of experience performing at weddings, corporate events, and ceremonial occasions, he brings both precision and passion to every performance. His powerful yet refined piping style creates a stirring atmosphere, whether welcoming guests, leading a procession, or setting the tone for a ceilidh. Reliable, professional, and highly skilled, Trevor ensures every event has that unmistakable Scottish magic.
Our passion for ceilidhs
One of our favourite memories was at a wedding ceilidh where the guests cheered so loudly for an encore that we ended up playing long past the final dance. The floor was full of people of all ages, from children to grandparents, all laughing and moving together. Moments like that remind us why we love what we do—bringing people together through the joy of traditional music, played with passion and energy.
Our values
At KJ Ceilidhs, our values are simple: inclusivity, energy, and excellence. We believe a ceilidh should be welcoming for everyone, no matter their age or experience. Our team brings boundless energy and a sense of fun to every event, making sure the dance floor is always alive. Behind the joy is a commitment to excellence – from world-class musicianship and high-quality sound to professional organisation that takes the stress out of planning. Our goal is to create unforgettable moments where music, laughter, and community come together.
