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 band, plus their horn section, were very pleased to be asked to play for the tenth year running at the Crook Morris Christmas ceilidh held on December 8th, 2018, in the Town Hall. It was a great event as usual, with our horns playing the whole evening. More. We are excited to have been asked to play again in December 2019
Following our playing at the Phoenix Ceildhs in May 2018, the next time out for the Tumbling Tom Big Band was at the Furness Tradition Festival in July - short video clip here from last year - and we've been asked to play again this year.
