Bellamira provide wild, joyous ceilidhs for weddings, parties, and festivals
Ceilidhs, also called barn dances, are wonderful events for all ages and abilities. We’re Sheffield-based and work across the UK.
The Bellamira experience
Bellamira are a small, tight band with a big sound and an inexhaustible sense of fun.
Robyn’s squeeze-box is punchy and exuberant. Josie layers ferocious fiddle harmonies, and her singing is powerful and unaffected. Paddy channels the energy of the sea shanty in his guitar and singing. Mina’s drums lift the dancing and sparkle with atmosphere and joy.
Together, we fully imbue Sheffield’s world-famous folk song and music scenes—energy, spirit and celebration. We create dance music that takes you on a journey.

Bellamira live studio session
We’re so glad we chose Bellamira as our wedding band! They were so helpful from start to finish, Robyn was easy to get in touch with and helped us decide what would work best for us. Needless to say, everything went very smoothly on the day. They got everyone up dancing (including lots of first-timers), with excellent music and great calling. All of our guests loved the ceilidh, and we would thoroughly recommend the band to anyone. We hope we’ll have the chance to hear them play again!
