Honestly - look no further, these are they guys you are looking for. I booked Blag to play in the local village hall for my birthday party. They were excellent musicians and lovely guys - polite, friendly and very professional. Their repertoire included many genres of music and they were able to adapt the music on the night to suit the room. The first set was an eclectic mix of music - all brilliantly played. The ceilidh in the second set was really fun, with Michael (very patiently) teaching us the moves. Everyone has been commenting on how fantastic they were ever since the party. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you for a really wonderful and memorable evening.

A fantastic band with so much patience! We ended up having a couple adjustments to the schedule we were going to follow, plus an unexpected delay to the actual start of the music playing, but Spill the Whiskey were really good at going with the flow.
They managed to get almost all the guests off their chairs -- the only ones who didn't get up were those who couldn't, and made dancing fun for everyone involved. We had actual people who knew how to dance, people who had no clue, and people who shouldn't be allowed on a dancefloor (me) but somehow the band played songs that worked for all of us and the amount of fun we had just cannot be put into words. Also, they ended their set beautifully, giving us a chance to go round all our guests and exchange a few words and a hug, which meant the world to me.
Fantastic band, I very much recommend them!

What an amazing time we had dancing to the Stomping Boondocks. They guys were great from start to finish and made sure the party will be one everyone remembers. Communication from start to finish was excellent and I highly recommend these guys should you want to get your guests up on the floor.

David & the band were a great success. Thank you for organizing things. They gave the party huge atmosphere & everyone commented on them. They were charming, polite, & played almost non-stop after a particularly busy wend. I will certainly recommend them........... xx

The Shenanigans provided the entertainment for my dad’s 88th birthday party. I can’t recommend them highly enough... absolutely fantastic. They made the room come alive created a great atmosphere ... played and sang lots of traditional Irish folk songs but also engaged the audience with stories and background to some of the songs. Definitely would book them again.

"Ben and the rest of the band were absolutely brilliant- from the pre event communication, where Ben was more than happy to answer my queries and make the evening meet my needs, to the actual night where the band were punctual and delivered on all they had promised- really excellent ceiligh playing with a fresh twist and an element of fun! They made my party an absolute blast- everyone, all ages were up and dancing and the room was full of laughter and smiles! I have received a huge amount of compliments about the quality of the band and atmosphere created from my guests.
I couldn’t recommend Price of my Pig more highly - I can guarantee they will give any event value for money - and if you are looking for the DJ option to extend your event Definitely go off that too.
Thank you so much Ben and the rest of the band.
