What events do you play at?

We are well suited to any of the following events:

• Wedding
• Anniversary
• Birthday party
• Barn dance / Irish ceili / Scottish ceilidh / English Ceilidh / American hoedown or line dance
• Corporate events (law firms, schools, charities and more)
• Charity fundraiser
• Village fete
• St Andrew's Day, St Patrick's Day, St George's Day
• Other community-based gatherings

What can I expect from your band?

No matter what the event, we promise a friendly, youthful, experienced and professional outfit that provides a gig to remember. We find that 2 x 45 minute sets, with a 30 minute break in between to provide a much needed rest in between vigorous dancing works well. Having said that, where necessary we are happy to tailor our line up, set list and dance list to fit your occasion, e.g. a second short break for cutting the cake, 1 x 1-hour set only etc. 

You can also book us as different line-ups according to preference and budget, see some options below:

• 3-piece band: guitar, violin, violin (+ caller) 
• 4-piece band: guitar, violin, violin, concertina/mandolin (+ caller)
• 2-piece band: guitar, violin (+ caller)
• 5-piece band: guitar, bass guitar, violin, violin, concertina/mandolin (+ caller)

What line-up should I choose?

As a collective of musicians of a high standard and commitment to delivering exceptional music, you can rest assured that any line-up will work. However, we would advise to go with 4 musicians plus a caller. This provides a musically broad sound with harmonies and variation that keeps the music engaging and lively. If budget is a constraint, or if the venue is small, we can of course offer a smaller line-up to suit. If you are planning an arena or festival ceilidh with hundreds of guests we are happy to oblige, and can call on our friends who play bass and drums to add some real punch! 

How much is the band to book?

Given the variations in terms of location, travel involved, gig timings, numbers of musicians and any special requests, it is better to send an enquiry giving as much info as you have and we then quote based on that. Rest assured that this does not mean we operate an Oasis-style dynamic pricing operation however! You can expect a competitive and fair rate based on hiring professional musicians, in line with other ceilidh bands in the area. 

I have a question that relates specifically to my event

The enquiry form on the contact and bookings page is your first port of call for any initial queries or questions. We can then get back to you and are happy to continue discussions on any finer points in advance of you booking. You will only ever contact the band directly so you can expect expert guidance, specific to your event. 

I'm interested, what are the next steps?

You enquire and subsequently book directly through our guitarist (no third party agencies involved here) - simply complete the enquiry form on our Contact Us page and we will be in touch to discuss your event, pricing and deposit payment to secure our band for your chosen date.

We hope to hear from you soon!
