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 Wedding

Blazing Saddles were a fantastic find for our wedding reception - they really kept the party going! Debby is a brilliant caller - her friendly manner & funny delivery got every single one of our guests joining in (even the ones who swore that nothing would get them dancing!) Debby & Tim had a very long drive to get to us, but arrived bang on time and both set up & packed away with a minimum of disruption. Our communication before the event was friendly & crystal clear - they were wonderful to work with. We would have no hesitation at all in booking them again & would highly recommend them

Booked for Celebration

Booked Price of My Pig for my wedding party in a marquee. Communication was good leading up to the event. The band arrived on time and played two one hour sets. The band were just as good as we had hoped they would be. The caller Ben was great and got as many people up as possible and gave clear instructions (and was patient when people weren't getting it!). There was a good variety of dances. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an upbeat ceilidh band with a great caller.

Booked for Wedding

Price of My Pig were fantastic. We hired them for our wedding evening, as we wanted to have a Ceilidh for the guests. The band was flexible to meet our requirements for during the buffet, and were excellent at getting all of the guests involved and on the dance floor, to make sure that there was always dancing going on! The music was fantastic, and the musicians were incredible. Thank you Ben and the band for making our wedding evening a blast!
