High-Energy Celtic Duo "Behan's Footsteps"

High-Energy Celtic Duo "Behan's Footsteps"

5.0(11 reviews)

• 27 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.

Booked for Wedding

Kelly's Heroes were a hoot! They had all of our guests up dancing and enjoying a right session! Playing some of our favourites and a mixture of reels and jigs, all of our guests loved having them. Helen was very helpful with us when we were going through the booking process, they were very professional on the day too and made us feel like everything was always under control. It was nice to be able to just relax and enjoy their music! Thank you for everything, Cian & Jasmin

The duo were very easy to deal with answering emails very promptly. At the event they were great playing all the Irish traditional songs along with some more recent ones. They played any requests we asked for on the night and were very easy going and amenable.Ths event was my father's memorial in a small intimate venue and they were the perfect choice as they played while people were talking yet added a warm ambience to the proceedings People gave me feedback that they were a great find. Thanks to them both for adding something special to our evening.

Kelly’s heroes arrived on time, did sound check and was ready to entertain our guests. We had given them our choice of preferred songs and they worked with that. They accommodated request to teach guests siege of Ennis dance, which have lots of people on the floor giving it a go. By the second set the band know how to keep people on the floor with lively songs. Given I booked the band with less than a week before the event, the communication was great and the band were kind enough to allow my nephew to do some Irish dancing as well as play the boron drum with the band. Everyone has been saying what a great day it was and how they enjoyed the band and music. Glad i booked this band for my daughters wedding.
