They regularly play as a 6 or 7 piece as well and offer line-up's to the size of a 10-piece band. You can augment your line-up to create the band you're looking for -  choosing from an array of traditional instruments (flute, pipes, accordion, whistles, etc) and more contemporary additions including a horn section, piano as well as guitar and a scratch DJ!

Why not lessen the stress of multiple bookings and arrange for one of our DJ's to finish up the evening after your band has finished it's set?!

TESTIMONIALS

  • We had a wonderful time at our wedding and the guests are still talking about the ceilidh. You managed to get everyone dancing (except the girl with the broken leg!). Thanks so much for incorporating some of our choices - your 'Hava Nagila'-ceilidh-style-mashup was particularly memorable. Great musicianship and professionalism. Your PA and lights were great too and thanks for helping with the bestman's video presentation!

  • You've got to smile at that kind of music, haven't you?

  • We had an amazing day, and just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to the band. It was more than we had hoped for, and our guests had a fantastic time. As I think I'd mentioned before, 90% of them had never been to a ceilidh, and the band catered to this perfectly. They chose appropriate dances, and our caller was brilliant at getting the guests involved and encouraging them to join in. One of my bridesmaids was at another wedding with a ceilidh two weeks later, and she noted the massive difference in quality and professionalism between the two bands.

  • What can I say... BOOK THIS BAND!! You will definitely not regret it, they played at our wedding in July 2012 and we had the best day of our lives... the music was awesome, the atmosphere electric and you could not keep people off the dancefloor!! The caller had the patience of a saint, expertly guiding novices and pros in all the dances. Every single person commented on what a fantastic reception it was and I cannot recommend this band highly enough. Thank you Ali and co for making our wedding so special. We would love to book you again in the very near future
