Rack and Ruin is a lively folk rock, celtic, roots and ceilidh band, playing pubs, festivals and private parties across the UK. As a ceilidh band, Rack and Ruin specialises in lively jigs and reels complete with a caller, interspersed with upbeat traditional folk music and contemporary, original material. Not your average, twee ceilidh band! more>>

As well as the ceilidh band, Rack and Ruin perform as a four-piece playing a similar mixture of loud and lively folk rock, celtic, roots and jigs and reels. Comprising vocals, guitar/bouzouki, fiddle, bass and drums, and combining lively jigs and reels, original songs and soulful ballads, this really is a true mixture of folk and rock.

Comfortable headlining a large music festival or for a wedding, birthday or other private party, their contemporary blend of lively folk rock, celtic, roots music always interweaves well with foot-tapping jigs and reels.

“Thank you to all the band – you were terrific. Everyone had a great night, enjoyed the music and the dancing. It was a memorable evening and we’ve had lots of good feedback about it.” RUTH & TONY LONGONI
