They were absolutely brilliant

5 stars - Footfall are Highly Recommended
booked Footfall for their Wedding June 2024

“The Rosevilles performed at our wedding this June and they were absolutely brilliant. We had a marquee wedding, they came to the site in the week before to assess the set-up and were very friendly and professional. The ceilidh on the day was excellent fun and they did the dances that I requested. Our schedule on the day ended up running very late but they were extremely flexible which was really h...”


The highlight of our wedding day

5 stars - Footfall are Highly Recommended
booked Footfall for their Wedding June 2024

“We had an absolutely fantastic time on our wedding day with you being there being a highlight of the day. A wonderful day with the musicians playing on the lawn in the sunshine with most of us barefoot, the music and the dances were brilliant and alot of fun. It was a good ice breaker too to get everyone warmed up and dancing together early in the day. We really enjoyed it. If we put on another ...”


90th birthday party

5 stars - Rakish Paddy are Highly Recommended
booked Rakish Paddy for their event in London June 2024

“I hired Rakish Paddy for my Dad's 90th birthday and it is fair to say they absolutely made the party. They put a lot of effort into liaising with me beforehand and were very good at responding to my requests, including special songs I wanted in relation to my Dad's life. They arrived promptly, were personable and friendly with all our guests, made my Dad feel like a million dollars and most of all...”

Made my evening!

5 stars - Rakish Paddy are Highly Recommended
booked Rakish Paddy for their event in Hertfordshire June 2024

“I booked Rakish Paddy for my 60th birthday Ceilidh - couldn't have had a more perfect celebration. Ruth and the guys totally made the evening. Their musicianship was fabulous, my guests commented on how good they were. Communication was excellent throughout from the initial telephone call with Ruth right through to the end of my celebration. I wanted a fun evening for amateur dancers and they pro...”


Outstanding in every way

5 stars - Gypsy Rogues are Highly Recommended
booked Gypsy Rogues for their event in Oxfordshire May 2024

“Getting the extended family together every year has always been fun and a great way of keeping in touch beyond the normal births, deaths and marriages. The Gypsy Rogues helped make this year’s gathering especially good fun. The music was fabulous and they really got everyone into the party spirit… I think they might even have had a bit of fun themselves, despite my awful singing, about which they ...”


An excellent ceilidh

5 stars - Rabscallion are Highly Recommended
booked Rabscallion for their Wedding in Staffordshire May 2024

“Rabscallion are excellent musicians who brought energy and laughs to our wedding day. With a wide repertoire of well known ceilidh tunes, they handled the challenge of 100 people (95% of whom had never been to a ceilidh before). I would recommend them for any event.”
