Booked for Anniversary

David and his musicians were fabulous. Everything happened on time, and they had barely started when everyone jumped up to dance. They read the crowd perfectly and no one wanted to tear themselves away!

Booked for Birthday party

Behan’s Footsteps came to play at my husband’s 60th birthday party, they were absolutely fantastic and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing good music at their event. They responded very quickly to my queries and requests and were an absolute pleasure to deal with, we would hire them again if we have another ‘do’
