Booked for Birthday party

Taigh Band absolutely made the evening. They were an incredible entertainment. Breaking the ice immediately and injecting so much fun into the event. Incredible quality live music and completely joyful dancing. They led the ceilidh with such tact and made even the least experienced dancers feel so included! All ages and different groups all dancing together. Most of all they were so FUN loving. It was the star of the show and I couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you Taigh Band!

Booked for Wedding

Karl and the rest of the band absolutely made our night! They managed to wrangle a 100+ crowd and get them on their feet for a ceilidh. Karl was an excellent caller and adapted instructions and routines as he went, ensuring everyone felt welcome and included. The music was full of energy and exactly what we were after; as a family of Murphys, we were very happy with the song/dance choices and loved every second. Karl was communicative throughout the booking and planning process, ensuring everything was prepped well in advance of our wedding day. We honestly could not be happier, and neither could our guests: it was the highlight of the night for many, and we couldn't have picked a better band. A massive diolch yn fawr from Mr and Mrs Murphy!

Booked for Birthday party

A great band and caller who were able to direct guests of various ages. They were all very friendly and relaxed. Very easy to organise directly with the band and they were all set up and playing as the guests arrived. I would certainly recommend them to others.

Booked for Anniversary

"An excellent band who made our anniversary party absolutely awesome. They were very professional but also had a great sense of humour and really encouraged everyone to get into the spirit of things. Highly Recommended"

Alice Duggan10 Aug 2018

Booked for Hen party

Kelly's Heros were absolutely spot on. Really got the party going and although we were all new to Ceilidh the caller kept us all right! They arrived an hour early to set up and were flexible to any requests, they even played 'one more tune' at the end. I would highly recommend for any event!

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.
