Booked for Celebration

Booking Blag to perform at our anniversary event was a fantastic decision and I would recommend them to anybody. They were professional, friendly and related well to the partygoers. A hgh standard of music was accompanied by experienced 'calling' to make this a great evening.

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!

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.

Booked for Birthday party

We had a joint 50th & 80th birthday party. Black Velvet were fantastic. Great musicians and made the Barn dance run smoothly. We had ages from 5 to 80 and they tailored everything perfectly. Made it a birthday to remember

Booked for Wedding

Silver Street Ceilidh Band played at our wedding in July this year - luckily just after restrictions were lifted so we could dance. And boy did we dance!😄 The band created a fantastic atmosphere which meant that everybody got up and threw themselves into the spirit of the ceilidh. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves (and keep taking about the fun they had).Even the few who weren't dancing enjoyed laughing at everyone else making a fool of themselves! As both my husband and I are from Scotland, it was lovely to be able to be able to bring a taste of Scotland to the south of England for our wedding. The music and caller were fabulous and the band members were all professional and friendly. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for making our special day that extra bit special❤️

Booked for Wedding

We hired Rejigged for our wedding reception. The guests all loved joining in and learning the dances. Best decision of the day (other than saying I do) was hiring them.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
