Oscar and Barney were amazing! We booked really last minute after another band cancelled and they were really flexible and managed to fit in with exactly what we were looking for. We booked them for my friends hen do and requested Irish songs and they were brilliant - even playing songs for us that weren't on their usual set list. They were super friendly and relaxed and I think everyone would have liked them to stay all night if they could! Would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic time with the Ceilidh provided by the Stomping Boondocks. The music reeled everyone in - even the ones who were unsure or too cool or a bit older - and united us in having a brilliant dance. I would thoroughly recommend them.

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!

Spring Heeled Jacks provided a great night of music and dancing at our recent Harvest barn dance. Great music, clear caller, variety of dances which were joined in by old and young alike. We've had lots of great feedback. From an organisers point of view they were also great to work with, clear communication, prompt setting up and clearing away, and also flexible to when arranging our initial timetable and when things didn't go entirely to plan. Thanks for a great night

Phil really was incredible! He gave a group of 16 girls a barn dance lesson as part of a hen part. We all absolutely loved the session, especially the bride to be! Phil was extremely responsive the whole way through and was very accommodating with keeping it a surprise! I would highly recommend Phil, he is really talented and fantastic entertainment!

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. 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!
