Booked for Private party

Hired Blag for a ceilidh in South London a couple of weeks ago. They were fantastic. Being in a ceilidh band myself, the band were exactly what we were looking for and more than lived up to expectations! They played a good mix of well known ceilidh dances and threw in a couple of songs as well to get the crowd going. Explained the dances well to a large group that had varying ceilidh experience and everyone had a great time. Would definitely hire again!

Booked for Celebration

Booked Price of My Pig for my wedding party in a marquee. Communication was good leading up to the event. The band arrived on time and played two one hour sets. The band were just as good as we had hoped they would be. The caller Ben was great and got as many people up as possible and gave clear instructions (and was patient when people weren't getting it!). There was a good variety of dances. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an upbeat ceilidh band with a great caller.

Booked for Birthday party

Blag came along and did a wonderful job of entertaining at my rescheduled 50th Birthday party. They were very accommodating, playing their first set outside and then moving inside in the break. They are very skilled musicians and did an excellent job. However, they are misrepresented as a Ceilidh band, as I had asked for a number of led dances and to have a caller encourage people to join in. They did a great set, but chose to play their eclectic set list which included celtic folk, rock, latin, world music, jazz and some some pop / rock covers and no led dances which was a shame as this is what I had asked for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, just be clear about your expectations from the outset.

Booked for Birthday party

A great band and caller who were able to direct guests of various ages. They were all very friendly and relaxed. Very easy to organise directly with the band and they were all set up and playing as the guests arrived. I would certainly recommend them to others.
