We had the pleasure of Oscar and Barney perform at our wedding. We both have irish heritage and were really looking for an authentic 'irish bar' experience for the change around time. Oscar and Barney we're so accommodating allowing us to select a more flexible option for what we wanted in terms of timings to fit in to our day perfectly. They were very happy to make our irish bar vision come to life! So many people came up to us after about how fantastic they had been. We couldn't recommend them enough.

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!

What a superb band for our wedding party - the guys were lovely, really friendly and helpful and got everyone involved and having the time of their lives! A ceilidh is such fun and a great way to ensure *all* your guests are involved in the celebrations - there were smiles on the faces of everyone dancing, and everyone watching!
I cannot recommend this highly enough - absolutely delightful, highly professional, and a total pleasure to work with to make sure we had an unforgettable evening!

We hired Spill The Whisky for our wedding and could not recommend them more. Debby was a fantastic caller and got all of our guests up and dancing even when the aircon broke! None of us had any particular ceilidh experience but that didn't matter at all. We had so many compliments from our guests who had an amazing time and we all had so much fun!

A great band and caller who were able to direct guests of various ages.
They were all very friendly and relaxed.
Very easy to organise directly with the band and they were all set up and playing as the guests arrived.
I would certainly recommend them to others.

"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.
