Musicians from classic bands Rosbif and Gas Mark 5 join with exciting new faces to give a fresh energy and edge to traditional dance music, with melodeons, fiddles and brass fusing English, French and Breton traditions into an exciting, powerful sound.

Why this name?
GIG CB! stands for the George Inn Giant Ceilidh Band - George Inn, because that's where we meet with all our friends, 1st Monday of the month, near London Bridge station, London for a monster music session. Giant because there's lots of us! Ceilidh Band because we play for ceilidh's, french bals, breton fest-noz, and the like.
Do you play live?
Anywhere and everywhere. We're UK based, but are playing at festivals in France and Germany this summer.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Make us an offer!
Your influences?
Well, it's very hard to categorise! There's so much going on, it's like a party on 24 legs. La Bottine Souriante would be the closest I can think of, but there are hints of Blowzabella, and many of the great French bands like La Chavannee
Favorite spot?
Centre france
