Booked for Wedding

We booked Run for Cover for our wedding on 24/06/23 and they were absolutlety ace! From day one of the booking right through to celebrating our special day, they were so accomodating and flexible which helped takes so much of the stress away from organising things. They helped rock the dance floor on the night and everyone had a blast. Would highly reccomend and wish them all the best. Thanks again Ben for all your help!

Just amazing, couldn't fault the band at all - excellent music, couldn’t be more accommodating and all round just lovely people to be involved in our day! Would recommend so highly, thank you so much!

Booked for Wedding

Superb performance but communication limited to texts prior to event and then performers arrived thinking they were singing just 2 songs when in fact we’d booked for 6 in total. Not the hassle you need on your wedding day.

Booked for Wedding

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!

Pan-ic Steel band were amazing!! The sound of the steel drums really made our charity event and they were so professional. All members were so friendly allowing the children a try on the drums. I highly recommend Pan-ic steel band for all events.
