Booked for Celebration

Booking Blag to perform at our anniversary event was a fantastic decision and I would recommend them to anybody. They were professional, friendly and related well to the partygoers. A hgh standard of music was accompanied by experienced 'calling' to make this a great evening.

Booked for Birthday party

I booked Phil and the Brewery Band to play at my 50th birthday party in Gloucester 1st Feb 2020. There were so many different bands to choose from, but I know now I definitely picked the right band to entertain me and my guests. Communication between myself and Phil before my party was good and when I met Phil and the band on the night all members were friendly and had smiles. Dances where easy to follow with clear instruction from Phil, and the music was lively. Everyone enjoyed the night and the Brewery band made it extra special. A birthday that I will never forget. Thank you :-)

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!

Can I ask a ceilidh band to play my favourite song?

Yes. However, ceilidh bands already have a setlist of songs to perform. They will agree to play your favourite song as long as it doesn't affect the flow of their setlist because the band has structured the songs into a workable order. You should discuss your preferred songs during the booking process when selecting the songs you like or don't like on the setlist. You are free to make any suggestions, but you should let the band show their expertise when playing the actual setlist for the event.
