Booked for Birthday party

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.

Booked for Other Event

I booked Blag to provide the entertainment at my Retirement Ceilidh last Saturday and they were absolutely tremendous. With their fiddle player acting as caller, they guided a novice crowd of dancers through a series of well known Ceildh dances and ensured that everyone had fun, providing us with a night we will remember for a long long time. Thank you.

Booked for Birthday party

Bass Rock (3 piece) were excellent, especially the quality of the music, but they were also great keeping us all right with the dance steps.

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.
