Unfortunately due to coronavirus we were not able to have our event. However, we would not hesitate to rebook Blag through PopTop in future because our dealings with both have been excellent.

We had an absolutely amazing evening on our wedding day last month. All of our guests enjoyed Blag’s music and dancing ceilidh dance (most of our guests are professional musicians who work with orchestras such as London Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, and BBC Symphony! Thank you once again for making our evening special. We wish you the very best.

We weren't able to have PoMP at our wedding due to UK coronavirus restrictions, however they were incredibly flexible in returning our deposit and we plan to hopefully use them in future when we renew our vows. Ben is very friendly and prompt with queries.

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!

Absolutely incredible, the band helped us have our dream wedding, and even got the grumpiest of our guests up and dancing. Several people have said to us since that (apart from the ceremony) the ceilidh was their favourite part of the day! Thank you so much for your amazing show!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a ceilidh band in Essex cost?

Depending on the event, a ceilidh band in Essex can be hired for between £750 and £1265. Nevertheless, there isn't a standard rate for all ceilidh bands in Essex because the cost is based on the band's size and travel costs. Therefore, to find out the exact pricing, kindly check the supplier's profile. When you enter the details of your event on Poptop's website, you can compare costs and receive an instant quote.

Does a ceilidh band in Essex provide background music between sets?

Typically, the bands would play background music between their performances. In most cases, they use their laptop or a music player. You can choose the songs you want the band to play in the background music, but this must be discussed during the booking process. Acoustic sets are mostly played as background music during drink receptions and other similar events. The background music will be a slow song your guests can listen to.

When will a band start its performance?

A ceilidh typically takes place at the conclusion of an event or during the wedding reception's nighttime festivities. A ceilidh is a fantastic way to get everyone in the room dancing, including those who wouldn't normally do so! A competent ceilidh caller will ensure that everyone knows the proper technique for each dance. It makes sense to schedule the band's performance for the evening's finale, just before your guests are about to leave for home. Please, feel free to contact the supplier to get the information directly.
