The Rice Paddies 

Christchurch Ceilidh Band 


Originating from a wee Irish Jam at Murphy's Irish Bar in Osaka in 2001, we've come a long way down under to bring you our favourite selections of Irish, Scotch and English Folk music. From traditional reels, jigs, hornpipes & polkas to traditional songs and more modern covers, we've got the mix to get your celebration, barn dance, fundraiser or Ceilidh started. ​ Based in Christchurch, we specialise in folk dance music but love the chance to stretch our vocal chords and really get high on blended harmonies.
