- Swallow’s Tail Ceili Band is well known to set dancers across Ireland for their bouncy rhythm, tight playing and and tendancy to Rock it out!! They’re also familiar to dancers in England and America after many trips abroad in over ten years of playing.
Swallow’s Tail was in great demand from the start, sometimes playing four nights a week for the entire summer. They were as popular abroad as they were at home, playing two or three times a year in London, Birmingham and Manchester, and on trips to New York, Washington, Milwaukee, Fleadh Portugal and Ibiza
