"Wow. These guys were absolutely amazing and we will be having them back very soon. I had asked them to play some Irish music at my uncles wake. We had Irish family over who would tell you how it is and they had an amazing time and we’re raving about these two lovely guys who were very professional and polite to our requests. I was so surprised in how many songs they new and they kept them coming. Thank you so much guys you were the best part of our day."

Booked for Birthday party

The Shenanigans provided the entertainment for my dad’s 88th birthday party. I can’t recommend them highly enough... absolutely fantastic. They made the room come alive created a great atmosphere ... played and sang lots of traditional Irish folk songs but also engaged the audience with stories and background to some of the songs. Definitely would book them again.

Booked for Private party

We had a wonderfully fun evening with a band who were excellent musicians, and Liz, the caller, giving us clear instructions for the dances. We all went home happily tired!

Booked for Birthday party

We had an excellent evening. Norton Green were very accommodating and fitted in well with what we needed. They were an extremely good band and everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

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.

The band offers a varied performance of Scottish and Irish folk music and song, with a few extras thrown in!

We can also do an acoustic set, on fiddle, flute pipes and guitar, playing a mix of songs and tunes.
