Booked for Wedding

We booked Phil for our wedding and he was amazing! He was patient with our guests and got everyone up and dancing, it was magical seeing so many of our friends who don't dance joining in. We would definitely highly recommend Phil!!

Booked for Birthday party

Really great experience with Two Left Feet. They were super helpful in advance in planning and the performance was brilliant. The caller really involved and helped the whol crowd, that was a range of kids and adults, and all the guests left smiling having had a brilliant time. The band helped create a brilliant memory for my wife's 40th birthday party. Thank you so much, from Dave and Ffion in Stockport.

Booked for Birthday party

Two left feet were brilliant!! The music and calling was so good that nearly everyone there was up and dancing. They helped celebrate my 50th in style. All my friends keep commenting on what a great night they had and were surprised how much they enjoyed it. My friend has booked them for her birthday so I’m looking forward to doing it all again!!

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 Corporate Function

Fantastic evening, The Nestling Trust are delighted to give Pipley Ceilidh 5 stars! Our fundraising event was a huge success thanks to the great music and enthusiastic musicians and caller. Cannot speak too highly of them all, who went out of their way to ensure our guests had great fun - so much so we’ve had numerous requests to run a similar event soon! Very professional band with a very personal approach. Thank you.

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.
