Booked for Wedding

Bracken Rigg band made our evening reception a fun occasion for all our guests, young and old. Everyone said it was as amusing to take part in the dancing as it was to watch other people's attempts. Great fun.

The Shenanigans were excellent! They were so helpful and friendly when I was booking and their set was fantastic. They asked for requests and played all our Irish favourites. They were extremely professional and I would highly recommend booking them for your occasion.

Booked for Other Event

Shenanigans were great! They did two 40 minute sets and had music playing in between so there wasn’t any hiccup in the evening. Everyone enjoyed the upbeat tone and we even had some lanky teens attempted Irish dancing. Fabulous addition to the 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.

Newick Folk perform mainly traditional music plus anything else that takes our fancy. That might be anything from I Am a Cider Drinker and My Old Man’s a Dustman to the themes from Captain Pugwash or Blackadder and maybe even Blueberry Hill or the SanFrancisco Bay Blues. We set out to entertain you and we love it when people get up and dance.

We bring a sense of occasion to our gigs with our caller's expert encouragement to everyone to come and dance. The floor is never empty and the smiles on people's faces after the first dance give people a sense of wanting to do more. The music complements the dances perfectly lifting the atmosphere to a joyous climax towards the end of the evening with the Strip the Willow dance - music nirvana and a fantastic end to the evening.

• 27 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.
