Booked for Corporate Function

Black Velvet were excellent and really added to our Irish themed evening. Lots of very traditional music. The guys were very flexible and last minute added in a Ceili set without prior knowledge which was appreciated by all and added to the fun of the evening. Very highly recommended.

Booked for Other Event

Shenanigans were great! They did two 40 minute sets and had music playing in between so there wasn’t any hiccup in the evening. Everyone enjoyed the upbeat tone and we even had some lanky teens attempted Irish dancing. Fabulous addition to the evening.

Booked for Birthday party

A highly talented musician, having studied for two music degrees. Her performance of both Irish and other music on both Fiddle and Flute was superb and greatly appreciated by all at our large lunchtime event for over 100 guests within a marquee. She had had to travel quite some distance and was very obliging when I asked her to travel the evening before. Excellent, and a very good find.

Booked for Corporate Function

Very talented musicians & great for St Patrick's Night. Wasn't everyone's cup of tea & would have liked a few more tunes that we all knew and coukd dance to, but on the whole we had a positive feedback.

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.

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.

About supplier

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.
