Welcome to the official website of KJ Folk & Friends, a dynamic ceilidh band that specializes in delivering high-impact, high-energy ceilidhs. Led by Kathryn Johnstone, our band features handpicked musicians who craft lineups tailored to your specific event needs.

At KJ Folk & Friends, we bring a diverse range of music to the table, from traditional English, Scottish, and Irish tunes to foot-stomping self-penned compositions, many of which are written by Kathryn herself. What sets us apart is our ability to incorporate unique elements into our performances, such as the enchanting sounds of bagpipes and the soulful melodies of saxophones, adding a jazzy twist to our music.

We offer a variety of traditional lineups in addition to our unique and dynamic ceilidh band. Our traditional lineups typically feature the melodeon, fiddle, and either a guitar or whistle, creating a classic and authentic sound that is perfect for a wide range of events.

Whether you prefer the lively energy of our high-impact ceilidh band or the timeless charm of our traditional lineup, KJ Folk & Friends is dedicated to providing you with top-quality musical entertainment tailored to your specific preferences. Whether you're looking to host a lively wedding reception, a festive corporate event, or a memorable private party, KJ Folk & Friends is here to provide you with an unforgettable musical experience. Contact us today to explore our lineup options and book the perfect band for your next event.
