Heather Breeze Ceili Band
     
 

The Heather Breeze Ceili Band come from Westport, in County Mayo and are one of Ireland's most popular ceili bands who have played a major role in the Set Dancing revival of recent years.

Their relaxed and traditional style of playing is known and appreciated both in their native Mayo and wherever set dancing is popular. Indeed it is also greatly appreciated by those who have never danced a set, but who enjoy listening to good Irish music.

 
     
     
 

The band have travelled and played for ceilis at most of the major dancing events and festivals throughout Ireland, as well as playing in England and in various parts of Europe and America. They have recently returned from a dancing tour of the Caribbean where they gained many more new admirers. In response to constant requests from their many dancing friends, The Heather Breeze Ceili Band released their first CD, in 2001, called 'Heather Breeze'. It was an immediate best seller throughout the dancing world and remains in constant demand wherever they play.

In recent years the band have been inundated with calls for another recording, so, this summer 2004 they finally found the time to record their second album entitled 'Music in the Glen'. Once again the musical performance and recording quality is of the highest standard and I am sure that it will be enjoyed by dancers and music lovers everywhere.

This time they have included some of the most popular sets revived in recent years, such as the Kilfenora set, from Clare, and the Claddagh set, from Connemara. The other sets on the album, the Inis Oirr set, from the smallest of the Aran Islands, the Ballyduff set, from County Waterford and the delightful little Louisburgh set, from their home County of Mayo, are equally in constant demand.

With the popularity of Two Hand dances growing all the time, The Heather Breeze Band have just launched a new CD called 'Waltz of the Bells' which includes music for all the popular dances and is proving very popular with both dancers and listeners alike.

A new DVD entitled Pride Of Erin two hand dances to match the music on the Waltz of the Bells album plus some additional dances (23 tracks in all) has just been released in Oct 2005 and is again proving to be very popular.
