The White Horse Ceilidh Band was formed from the regular musicians of the White Horse Folk Club, Beverley, in 1978. Since then they have played for countless barn dances and ceilidhs around their native East Yorkshire and Hull area, as well as venues as far apart as Gloucester Arts Centre; Towersey Folk Festival in Oxfordshire; Leeds, Beverley, Holmfirth and Redcar folk festivals; Festa Avante! in Portugal, as well as representing their country in Detmold, Germany. The repertoire comprises Irish, English, Scottish and American folk tunes and dances.
