Booked for Wedding

Bracken Rigg band made our evening reception a fun occasion for all our guests, young and old. Everyone said it was as amusing to take part in the dancing as it was to watch other people's attempts. Great fun.

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!

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.

Booked for Wedding

We hired Dancing Feet for our wedding in July. Since then, we've had so many compliments from guests who were so impressed with the band. Not only was their playing, dance calling and energy absolutely fantastic, Kate and Roddy's professionalism and flexibility really added so much to our day. I would recommend them to anyone considering hiring a ceilidh band for a wedding!

Booked for Corporate Function

Black Velvet were excellent and really added to our Irish themed evening. Lots of very traditional music. The guys were very flexible and last minute added in a Ceili set without prior knowledge which was appreciated by all and added to the fun of the evening. Very highly recommended.

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.
