The Rusty Buckets is an established West Somerset based Ceilidh Band that can be booked for all kinds of functions where some traditional fun, frolics and folk are required to give your guests an event to remember!

The Rusty Buckets is a 6 piece band whose members play: Accordion; Melodeon; Guitar; Flute; Saxophone; Whistle; Bagpipes/Smallpipes; Banjo; As well as various percussion instruments. Obviously not all instruments are played at the same time!! One of their number is also a caller and will talk you through the traditional "barn dances" as well as throwing in a fun party game if you so desire. As an interlude to the dancing, the band will also perform tunes for free-style dancing, and songs - many of which have been written or inspired by Vikki Nuttall, as well as some of the traditional sing-along songs you expect to hear such as "I'll Tell me Ma" and "Wild Rover" to name just a couple.

We will be adding some recordings of the band very soon so please check back to hear a sample of what you might expect at a Rusty Buckets ceilidh.

If you would like to book the Rusty Buckets, please email Sally.
