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.

Price of My Pig were fantastic. We hired them for our wedding evening, as we wanted to have a Ceilidh for the guests. The band was flexible to meet our requirements for during the buffet, and were excellent at getting all of the guests involved and on the dance floor, to make sure that there was always dancing going on! The music was fantastic, and the musicians were incredible. Thank you Ben and the band for making our wedding evening a blast!

Great night, band were brilliant and the caller, Mary made the evening,! Easy, friendly, clear instruction. Enjoyed by all, the youngest, the eldest and all the ones (who had a one too many) in-between, the dance floor was full all evening. The thanks we have recieved from all who attended has been over whelming. Can't find fault.

I booked Phil and the Brewery Band to play at my 50th birthday party in Gloucester 1st Feb 2020. There were so many different bands to choose from, but I know now I definitely picked the right band to entertain me and my guests. Communication between myself and Phil before my party was good and when I met Phil and the band on the night all members were friendly and had smiles. Dances where easy to follow with clear instruction from Phil, and the music was lively. Everyone enjoyed the night and the Brewery band made it extra special. A birthday that I will never forget. Thank you :-)
