"Richard and Climax were fantastic, we found them to be very professional and the music they played was really good.
I would highly recommend this band to everyone, and I can promise you will not be dissapointed.
Also I would like to add that we had a lot of fun and so did the band.
If you want a good band and good music then book Climax."
"Thank you so much for playing at our Wedding reception on Saturday at the Donnington Manor Hotel. We ourselves thoroughly enjoyed the Ceilidh and we have received highly praising comments from many of our guests. The most recent comment came from one of Claire's cousins who said ""When I get married I'm definitely going to have a ceilidh at my wedding reception!""
The music sounded great and Heather's instructions and calling were perfect.
We have left an appropriate Google review.
Once again thank you very much for a wonderful evening!"
Thank you so much for yesterday! We had a great time!
Thanks so much for the performance on Wednesday. It was fantastic and everyone had a great time. I’ve had lots of people whose first ceilidh it was say that they can’t wait to do it again and there are many sore legs around the building today – proof of a good time I think!
Massive thanks to you all for a fantastic night last night at our Village Ceilidh at St Johns Memorial Hall, Woking. We have enjoyed a few Ceilidhs / Barn Dances at the hall and I can honestly say you were by far the best band and caller we have had, the band sounded fabulous, sound was great in the hall and Rachel did a fab job of calling and organizing the dances, everything pitched at just the right level. The whole evening went very smoothly and a great time was enjoyed by all thanks to The Climax Ceilidh Band. Will definitely be booking again for next year! Thanks so much guys xx
Thank you and your band for Sunday evening. Lots of people told me they loved the evening.
Infectious music for ceilidhs or barn dances
We have played at numerous top folk festivals in the UK and Europe, including Sidmouth Folk Week, Towersey Festival, Rudolfstadt Festival, Chippenham Folk Festival etc. and also on the UK ceilidh circuit
We are not a 'scratch' band like most ceilidh bands, but have permanent members who are all excellent musicians. We are therefore extremely well rehearsed and professional.
