High-Energy Celtic Duo "Behan's Footsteps"

High-Energy Celtic Duo "Behan's Footsteps"

5.0(12 reviews)

• 35 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 Corporate Function

The O’Marleys Irish Band delivered an absolutely outstanding performance for our St Patrick’s Day celebration! From the moment they struck the first chord, the atmosphere transformed — lively, authentic, and full of that unmistakable Irish charm. Their musicianship was exceptional, blending traditional Irish folk tunes with high‑energy crowd‑pleasers that had everyone tapping their feet (and many up dancing!). Each member of the band brought incredible talent and personality to the stage, creating a warm, engaging presence that made the entire event feel special. What truly set The O’Marleys apart was their professionalism and passion. They were easy to work with, perfectly prepared, and completely dedicated to giving us a memorable experience. Their ability to read the room and adjust the energy kept the celebration flowing perfectly from start to finish. Whether you’re planning a military function, a community event, or a private celebration, I couldn’t recommend The O’Marleys more highly. They turned our St Patrick’s Day into a genuinely unforgettable occasion, and we’ll absolutely be looking to bring them back again.

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

Booked for Birthday party

Shenanigans wasn't our first choice for the surprise party but we're very glad we managed to secure them. Alan and Steve provided just the sort of music and feel good factor we were looking for. Lots and lots of our guests complimented us on their musicianship and sound. They say that good things come in small packages and Shenanigans certainly does. They were excellent value for money and if we do another surprise party this time they would be first-choice.

Great performance. All guests have a good time. The team arrived early to prepare and the performance time is as pre-agreed. Davy is very easy to communicate and responds promptly. Recommend.
