We were completely blown away by the good music, easy banter, clear direction and friendly atmosphere that this group of talented musicians put on for us.Thank you so much for such a memorable evening. If you are lucky enough to book them, I would 100% recommend!

Booked for Anniversary

The admin was easy. The process of contacting the band was smooth. The cost was made clear. The band was great and they tailored the music to suit our group and encouraged people to join in. Lovely manner and professional. Very experienced caller and musicians. Alan was the caller, Norman was playing the accordion and Mike was on the fiddle 😜 Enthusiastic comments and praise from all our guests. Several potential enquiries regarding bookings will hopefully follow. We couldn't have wished for a better way to celebrate our special anniversary. Every thanks to the Black Velvet Ceilidh Band, Christian and Helen (Cheltenham) 😄

Booked for Birthday party

Thank you so much what a super band, they really made my party by playing before hand while our guests had drinks and for the dance in the fabulous barn at The Chequers in Heaverham near Sevenoaks. All guests danced our socks off, great fun! We thoroughly recommend A2 Band for all ages.

Booked for Other Event

We had a great barn dance with thanks to Newick Folk who provided brilliant music for the evening. They really fit the theme and Jenny the caller was brilliant with her instructions, and they managed to get old and young up and dancing right from the start. We would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting a barn dance or folk event. Also great communication leading up to the event which helped.

Booked for Corporate Function

"We were so pleased we had booked Martin and the SIlver Street Ceilidh Band for our awards night. From first contact to the night itself they were friendly, fun and professional. Their music and calling got everyone up dancing and was just what we needed. The only down side was that being an awards night, the speeches went on a bit and we didn't have as much of the band as we would have liked. It was very easy booking through Poptop. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thank you Martin."
