The Ceilidh Liberation Front @ VAULT Festival

Subverting and converting the world with their energetic new ceilidh regime, The Ceilidh Liberation Front breathe vigour and vitality into the traditional ceilidh, whilst honouring its roots and traditions.

United under the banner of The Nest Collective, London’s brightest folk club, and originally brought together by Mercury music prize nominee Sam Lee, this ceilidh ensemble are a coming together of the finest musicians, the most charismatic callers, the most uplifting and inspiring tunes, and the best dances… mostly traditional, with some bespoke dancing creations and the odd spontaneous improvisation!

Featuring a small army of virtuoso musicians collected from the four corners of the land, planted in the soils of Britain’s rich traditional music history, watered by years of playing, exploring, collaborating and innovating, and now blossoming together in this new-old-beautiful-fantastical formation, the CLF combines music, dance, and a generous sprinkling of theatricals to bring this unique experience to the world. Ceilidh music as you’ve never heard (or seen) it before, make sure you bring your dancing shoes.

At VAULT festival the CLF will be taking on one of the late evening slots to bring a raucous party vibe to proceedings. Partners will be swung, thighs a-slapped, and the tunnels will come alive with the joyous ceilidh tunes and lively dancing of 500 pairs of feet.

Vault festival is 'the most unexpected and untamed underground festival ever.' Hosting an exciting medley of events over the course of six weeks, guests can expect to be immersed in an tantalising underground world of creation and innovation.
