Booked for Other Event

We are very grateful to David, Michael and Mark for doing such a great job at a Barn Dance/ Ceilidh we held a few days ago to raise funds to help a Catholic Secondary School in Sudan. It was a really joyful evening. Michael, the fiddle player, was very patient and good natured in explaining the dances. Between the dances, the band would play pop/jazz music - and people got up and danced to these as well. By the end virtually everybody was dancing. Blag's versatility and range of repertoire area real advantages. David also provided useful information in the weeks before the barn dance Thoroughly recommend this sort of event. It can be a job persuading people who are unfamiliar with Ceilidhs to come, but once they are there, they really enjoy it. They are very inclusive and we had people of all ages (and dancing abilities) participating. Blag are ideal for such events.

Booked for Other Event

I booked Blag to provide the entertainment at my Retirement Ceilidh last Saturday and they were absolutely tremendous. With their fiddle player acting as caller, they guided a novice crowd of dancers through a series of well known Ceildh dances and ensured that everyone had fun, providing us with a night we will remember for a long long time. Thank you.

Booked for Birthday party

This my first ever Ceilidh and additionally our first time hosting a birthday party around an activity, and my what a great decision it was! The band was simply perfect - their playing style was exactly what the party needed, the caller was so enthusiastic, easy to follow and funny, and the music they played really filled up the hall and got everyone on their feet. Ceilidh's are great. At first I was worried no one would get stuck in, but actually the opposite happened - every single person got on the dance floor and danced! A perfect activity for either a party of friends, a room of strangers, or a mix of both (which we had). I would thoroughly recommend anyone to host their own Ceilidh, and I would definitely recommend BLAG for anyone looking for someone to book :-) Thank you yet again

Booked for Celebration

The band was absolutely amazing! We had a brilliant time dancing the evening away! All our guests absolutely loved it, and David got everybody up and dancing. Great for all ages - from grandparents to small children, everybody had a fantastic time. David's calling was fantastic and the band was wonderful. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. From the very first, with friendly and quick email exchanges, to the evening itself, the whole thing was marvellous. Toe-tapping, side-splitting laughter, much joy and going the extra mile to make the day special for us - even bringing out the bagpipes to call us all into the barn for the ceilidh. Out of ten, it's a twelve from us!

Booked for Hen party

Phil really was incredible! He gave a group of 16 girls a barn dance lesson as part of a hen part. We all absolutely loved the session, especially the bride to be! Phil was extremely responsive the whole way through and was very accommodating with keeping it a surprise! I would highly recommend Phil, he is really talented and fantastic entertainment!
