We are Sunniside Up! a ceilidh band based in Newcastle upon Tyne. We love to play for weddings, birthdays, corporate events, and functions of all kinds in Tyneside, Durham, Northumberland and further afield.

A traditional ceilidh or barn dance is a great way to make any celebration into something special. Everyone can join in, and the music just makes you feel good.

The members of Sunniside Up! have had loads of experience in helping people to have fun at weddings, birthday parties and village dances. Pam, our caller, has a great knack of being able to build up the fun and excitement, and at the same time to give clear instructions so you can have a great time without worrying if you are doing things right. In fact she is often heard to say that "if you're smiling then you are doing it right!".

To find out more please contact us by telephone or email to chat about what you would like. We are always willing to work closely with you to ensure we provide you with a great celebration.
