High-Energy Celtic Duo "Behan's Footsteps"

5.0(12 reviews)

• 35 bookings

Behan's Footsteps Duo are two brothers based in West Yorkshire who play exhilarating and soulful Irish folk music, with the occasional Scottish ceilidh tune added in. We have played Irish music since we were old enough to hold our instruments! Behan's Footsteps have been playing Celtic music for as long as they could walk. We know how to make people dance, and we know how to make them cry.

We are able to provide differing atmospheres for different occasions. We enjoy playing raucous, high-energy shows but are equally happy playing a beautiful ballad as a bride strolls down the aisle. Our sets are always catered to the event that we're playing.

We knew we wanted a Ceilidh band from the moment we started planning our big day. I still cannot fathom just how amazingly priced and incredible Price of My Pig were! 🐷 A 5 piece band with caller, our guests are still raving about just how unique they were and how much they loved them! We adored having them play for our wedding and I cannot recommend them enough! Absolutely superb entertainment. They’ll be something guests will remember forever for sure! Thank you so much from Mr and Mrs Walker 31.05.22 (we’ll upload photos when we get some back) all our guests were too busy dancing to take any of their own 😸

Kelly’s heroes arrived on time, did sound check and was ready to entertain our guests. We had given them our choice of preferred songs and they worked with that. They accommodated request to teach guests siege of Ennis dance, which have lots of people on the floor giving it a go. By the second set the band know how to keep people on the floor with lively songs. Given I booked the band with less than a week before the event, the communication was great and the band were kind enough to allow my nephew to do some Irish dancing as well as play the boron drum with the band. Everyone has been saying what a great day it was and how they enjoyed the band and music. Glad i booked this band for my daughters wedding.

Booked for Private party

Great night, band were brilliant and the caller, Mary made the evening,! Easy, friendly, clear instruction. Enjoyed by all, the youngest, the eldest and all the ones (who had a one too many) in-between, the dance floor was full all evening. The thanks we have recieved from all who attended has been over whelming. Can't find fault.

Thank you so much for making our wedding the party of the year - everyone loved the music! Black Velvet Band played at our wedding reception and they were brilliant. I had worried whether people would want to dance to Irish music but I shouldn't have. Everyone loved the music! We had a real proper Irish Hooley, with lots of dancing, singing-along and some humour in-between. As this was a marriage of cultures (English, Irish and Dutch) we were also touched that the band played a couple of traditional Dutch songs, allowing the Dutch to have a good sing-along as well. And when my dad asked if they could accompany him for a song to sing after his speech, it was no problem. The guys in the band are proper musicians who can play what the crowd needs to keep the party fuelled. The only complaint I have had is from my knees - which are still complaining, even after 4 days rest! Next time, I will wear trainers.

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.
