Thank you so much to Phil and everyone in the band for coming and doing a Ceilidh at our wedding!! It was fantastic and everyone loved it 😍!!

Phil really was incredible! He gave a group of 16 girls a barn dance lesson as part of a hen part. We all absolutely loved the session, especially the bride to be! Phil was extremely responsive the whole way through and was very accommodating with keeping it a surprise! I would highly recommend Phil, he is really talented and fantastic entertainment!

"We were so pleased we had booked Martin and the SIlver Street Ceilidh Band for our awards night. From first contact to the night itself they were friendly, fun and professional. Their music and calling got everyone up dancing and was just what we needed. The only down side was that being an awards night, the speeches went on a bit and we didn't have as much of the band as we would have liked. It was very easy booking through Poptop. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thank you Martin."

Arrived early and were patient and flexible when timings on the day didn’t go exactly to plan. Very lovely people too, laid back and a lot of fun. Everyone had a great evening!

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.

I want to see a setlist. What should I do?
You can check a ceilidh band’s repertoire when you click on their profile on Poptop. In most cases, the band will clearly state their setlist. Also, you can look at the band's song list while making a booking decision to select the songs you want and don't want to hear. You can contact the supplier for more information if you would like to make suggestions. It won't bother the ceilidh band if you have any recommendations. However, this should be done before the event.
