The band have played every sort of ceilidh - folk festivals, weddings, PTAs, village socials, May Day celebrations – you name it, we’ve probably done it. The Toms have performed at every major venue in South Lakeland  as well as innumerable village halls, schools and hotels in the North West, Kendal Leisure Centre, Coronation Hall Ulverston, Forum 28 Barrow and the Brewery Arts Centre Kendal to name just a few. To view our ceilidhs since 2007, please see our Blog.
Our experienced and friendly callers will coax you and your friends onto the dance floor, whether you’re first timers or experienced dancers. You give us your energy and we’ll give you some irresistible dance tunes and rhythms.

Combining the best in British folk music with roots, rock and reggae rhythms, Tumbling Tom has for many years been the leading ceilidh band in the area.  The band developed as part of the new wave of folk dance bands that use predominantly English music with it’s robust rhythms to get people onto the dance floor. Led by a melodeon, the 5 piece band also include keyboards, electric guitars, drums and bass to produce a lively sound.

News in brief: The major public ceilidhs that we were supposed to playing for in 2020 included -
- A return visit to the Phoenix Ceildhs on May 8th 2020.
- A return visit to the Kendal Mountain Festival on November 21st 2020.
- Our 12th Christmas ceilidh for Crook Morris on December 5, 2020, but we have been booked for the 2021 ceilidh.

All were cancelled of course due to the pandemic.
