Booked for Birthday party

We had a fantastic time with the Ceilidh provided by the Stomping Boondocks. The music reeled everyone in - even the ones who were unsure or too cool or a bit older - and united us in having a brilliant dance. I would thoroughly recommend them.

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 Birthday party

We couldn't have been happier with the whole PopTop experience. Phil got in touch and we quickly established what we needed for our event, which meant customising the band to a caller and an accordion. It worked perfectly in our garden with about 20 people dancing. Even those who'd initially been circumspect about a ceilidh thoroughly enjoyed the dancing. It really was wonderful and people are still talking about it.

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 Corporate Function

"We were so pleased we had booked Martin and the SIlver Street Ceilidh Band for our awards night. From first contact to the night itself they were friendly, fun and professional. Their music and calling got everyone up dancing and was just what we needed. The only down side was that being an awards night, the speeches went on a bit and we didn't have as much of the band as we would have liked. It was very easy booking through Poptop. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thank you Martin."

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.
