The Outlandish Knights are an energetic modern ceilidh band with rock influences, based in Sheffield. The Outlandish Knights blend tuneful melodies, epic solos and driving rhythms.

The vast majority of the Outlandish Knights’ music is original. Some of the tunes have been written to match specific ceilidh dances.

We play widely around Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester, Derby, Nottingham, Doncaster, but are happy to accept bookings from further afield.
