A great band and caller who were able to direct guests of various ages. They were all very friendly and relaxed. Very easy to organise directly with the band and they were all set up and playing as the guests arrived. I would certainly recommend them to others.

What a band!! Absolutely fantastic music from this talented trio which created a super atmosphere. Everyone was excited for the ceilidh. People were up dancing and definitely having fun. Instructions and run throughs were clearly called and directed. It was a great way to spend the evening and especially good for those of us with limited dancing skills! I’d definitely recommend The New Fox Band.

The veritable ceilidh club performed at our wedding yesterday and they were absolutely fantastic. Very patient calling and the transitions between songs were amazing. Above all they were all nice people and made everything really easy. Would highly recommend hiring these guys and girls.

Stomping Boondocks are a talented band who provide great entertainment at an affordable price! All correspondence was well responded to, with the band taking time and effort in carrying out our requests far better than expected. Everyone had an amazing evening with a fantastic mix of Ceilidh and DJ music played - I can't remember a time where someone wasn't up on the dance floor! :D I really couldn't recommend a better band t…

We hired Dancing Feet for our wedding in July. Since then, we've had so many compliments from guests who were so impressed with the band. Not only was their playing, dance calling and energy absolutely fantastic, Kate and Roddy's professionalism and flexibility really added so much to our day. I would recommend them to anyone considering hiring a ceilidh band for a wedding!

Frequently Asked Questions

I want to hire a ceilidh band in Manchester. How much will it cost?

The price a ceilidh band in Manchester will charge you for an event is between £300 to £1,920 depending on the number of members in the band you choose. Other factors influencing the cost include travel expenses and other additional services. Kindly go through Poptop for a personalised list of professional ceilidh bands for hire in Manchester and get an instant quote after filling in your event details.

Should I provide any equipment if I hire a ceilidh band in Manchester?

You will need to provide a parking area so the bands can access the venue easily. A safe, flat, and dry performance area will be needed if the bands are to perform indoors. You will provide the bands with chairs and shelter if they agree to perform outside to protect them from the sun. Most of the ceilidh bands on Poptop provide their equipment, including a strong PA system, microphones, and amplifiers. Our suppliers will deliver the technical requirements and instruments they will use in the event.

How much time does a ceilidh band for hire needs to set up?

Setting up the equipment before and packing after the event is included in the services the ceilidh band offers. The ceilidh bands will be available an hour before the event so they can set up their equipment. It will take a band between 60-90 minutes to set up and ensure an adequate sound check. Depending on their equipment, some bands may take up to two hours to set up. Also, the band will stay after the event for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to pack their equipment.
