Booked for Hen party

Oscar and Barney were amazing! We booked really last minute after another band cancelled and they were really flexible and managed to fit in with exactly what we were looking for. We booked them for my friends hen do and requested Irish songs and they were brilliant - even playing songs for us that weren't on their usual set list. They were super friendly and relaxed and I think everyone would have liked them to stay all night if they could! Would highly recommend.

Booked for Birthday party

I found the experience of hiring Hot Scotch Ceildh band easy enough. On the night they arrived in plenty of time and were polite, friendly and accommodating. Everyone at the party was super impressed by them. Although we had a lot of children (some quite young) present the band were great at calling the instructions to keep us right and everyone dancing had a great time. For others not dancing, the music was enjoyable to listen to.

Booked for Other Event

Spring Heeled Jacks provided a great night of music and dancing at our recent Harvest barn dance. Great music, clear caller, variety of dances which were joined in by old and young alike. We've had lots of great feedback. From an organisers point of view they were also great to work with, clear communication, prompt setting up and clearing away, and also flexible to when arranging our initial timetable and when things didn't go entirely to plan. Thanks for a great night

Booked for Wedding

From the moment of booking the band made the whole process so easy! They were easily contactable and quick to respond. The songs were amazing and had all of the guests enjoying a good dance and singalong! They created such a beautiful and fun atmosphere and were an amazing addition to our wedding!!! Such kind gentlemen with warm hearts too :-). I highly recommend booking!!

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 Wedding

Great communication from the band from the outset. I couldn't recommend them enough, I had them for the evening entertainment at my wedding and they were a great hit! Everyone got up and danced, it was such fun and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for an amazing evening!

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.
