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 Other Event

We are very grateful to David, Michael and Mark for doing such a great job at a Barn Dance/ Ceilidh we held a few days ago to raise funds to help a Catholic Secondary School in Sudan. It was a really joyful evening. Michael, the fiddle player, was very patient and good natured in explaining the dances. Between the dances, the band would play pop/jazz music - and people got up and danced to these as well. By the end virtually everybody was dancing. Blag's versatility and range of repertoire area real advantages. David also provided useful information in the weeks before the barn dance Thoroughly recommend this sort of event. It can be a job persuading people who are unfamiliar with Ceilidhs to come, but once they are there, they really enjoy it. They are very inclusive and we had people of all ages (and dancing abilities) participating. Blag are ideal for such events.

Booked for Wedding

What a band!! Absolutely fantastic music from this talented trio which created a super atmosphere. Everyone was excited for the ceilidh. People were up dancing and definitely having fun. Instructions and run throughs were clearly called and directed. It was a great way to spend the evening and especially good for those of us with limited dancing skills! I’d definitely recommend The New Fox Band.

Booked for Birthday party

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.
