The Climax Ceilidh Band started when two trios, Meridian and Pesky, decided to play together in one big, exciting band. With a little help from the Folk Camp Society, the Stag's Tuesday session in Hastings and some agency gigs, Climax was born. The band prides itself on its fine mixture of self-penned tunes with traditional material and playing 'live' is as exciting for them as for the dancers.

When together this band sounds like no other. It might seem easy when they play, but look behind the scenes and you will see that the Climax Ceilidh Band is a group of highly skilled musicians who are musically responsive to each other and are able to trust the spontaneity within each of them to take ceilidh music into new dimensions. The driving rhythms of the accordion and guitar, the sweet sound of the dancing fiddles, the swift trill of the flute and the power of the pipes makes the Climax Ceilidh Band experience truly uplifting!
