Booked for Private party

We booked Phil Preen and band for a barn dance. Having attended a few barn dances in the past I assured all the other attendees that it would be a great night and they were not disappointed. Phil is a first class caller, talking throught the steps in easy stages and the band were absolutely spot on with their musical expertise. Couldn't have wished for a better night.

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 Heel Jacks were simply brilliant! From the moment of booking through to our fundraising Barn Dance, the communication was clear and quick. They made the night by providing great music and dance calling which everyone could follow, even the many novices attending! Thank you John and the rest of the band for making our event such fun. We will definitely be in touch again!

Booked for Wedding

The lads from Behans Footsteps were great from start to finish. We wanted some traditional Irish music to play as guests arrived at our wedding and Barney was very accommodating with their choice of tunes. We would highly recommend them for their professionalism and quality of playing.

Booked for Birthday party

Simon, Andy and the band were amazing. We had fabulous music and expert calling on the day. The team were on time, highly professional and even brought their own ambient lighting! We had a very diverse guest list and Andy was extremely accommodating: from choosing the dances, making adaptations and in his direction on the night. Thank you guys, it was a most memorable evening and whilst it was the first time we met, I’m confident it will not be the last!

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

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.
