Spinning melodies that put smiles on the faces & feet of dancers all over the country
Ceilidh Three Sixty brings together the vibrant trio of Tom Evans (accordion / stomp box), Bruce Knapp (electric guitar / dobro / mandolin) and Chris Walshaw (tenor sax / pipes / whistles).
Together, C360 deliver an electrifying ceilidh experience — their infectious rhythms ignite dance floors and spread smiles across the country. With the driving pulse of accordion and stomp box, the raw energy of sax and pipes, and the soaring guitar & mandolin solos, Ceilidh 360 promise an unforgettable night of music and dancing.
Bruce adds his electric guitar, mandolin and dobro, bringing blues, soul and jazz influences to Ceilidh Three Sixty's unique arrangements. Mainly known in Blues, Jazz and world music circles, he has toured the world with the likes of the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain, and pan European band The Bluesmasters, as well as playing in Climax Ceilidh Band and MoltenAmba in the folk-o-sphere.
Tom Evans brings accordion and foot percussion to Ceilidh Three Sixty - both at the same time! He writes tunes and can be found playing with groups such as Climax Ceilidh Band, Missing Richard, The Twagger Band, Understory and Suntrap where he also plays piano, guitar, and double bass.
Chris, who plays saxophone, English & French pipes and whistles, has been involved in folk music since the tender age of six. He has played in The Duellists, Zephyrus, Angles, MoltenAmba and the Climax Ceilidh Band and is currently a member of Oscina.
... is named after one of the band's tunes - Three Sixty, a jig by Chris. The band was formed in 2025, arising stronger and renewed from its Climax Ceilidh Band origins, with fresh material and some brand new shirts!
