BARN DANCE / CEILIDH  

Corkscrew are an entertaining established band with first class musicians and lively MC/caller/professional dancer to host the occasion. Ranked as one of the best barn dance bands, Corkscrew provide music and fun for all ages.

Corkscrew cater for Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, Weddings, Parties, Corporate and Themed Events, Irish, etc.
