High-Energy Celtic Duo "Behan's Footsteps"

High-Energy Celtic Duo "Behan's Footsteps"

5.0(12 reviews)

• 32 bookings

Behan's Footsteps Duo are two brothers based in West Yorkshire who play exhilarating and soulful Irish folk music, with the occasional Scottish ceilidh tune added in. We have played Irish music since we were old enough to hold our instruments! Behan's Footsteps have been playing Celtic music for as long as they could walk. We know how to make people dance, and we know how to make them cry.

About supplier

We are able to provide differing atmospheres for different occasions. We enjoy playing raucous, high-energy shows but are equally happy playing a beautiful ballad as a bride strolls down the aisle. Our sets are always catered to the event that we're playing.

Danai Katsavou20 Oct 2025

Booked for Wedding

this is a very diverse platform. you can find all sorts of services, artists, performers, etc, which is super useful. However I would advice that you chose people many months in advance, so that if they don't confirm, you can cancel with no fees. Not every professional will respond, be aware. We managed to find people, but it was a hit and miss.

Booked for Birthday party

Great from initial enquiry to performing their set. Really good communication and very friendly guys, my Dad loved it for his birthday, as did the 30 other guests. Highly recommend.

Natasha Dennison8 Jun 2022

Booked for Wedding

We hired Spill The Whisky for our wedding and could not recommend them more. Debby was a fantastic caller and got all of our guests up and dancing even when the aircon broke! None of us had any particular ceilidh experience but that didn't matter at all. We had so many compliments from our guests who had an amazing time and we all had so much fun!

Booked for Private party

Great night, band were brilliant and the caller, Mary made the evening,! Easy, friendly, clear instruction. Enjoyed by all, the youngest, the eldest and all the ones (who had a one too many) in-between, the dance floor was full all evening. The thanks we have recieved from all who attended has been over whelming. Can't find fault.
