• Jan. 4, 2020A fantastic band with so much patience! We ended up having a couple adjustments to the schedule we were going to follow, plus an unexpected delay to the actual start of the music playing, but Spill the Whiskey were really good at going with the flow.
They managed to get almost all the guests off their chairs -- the only ones who didn't get up were those who couldn't, and made dancing fun for everyone involved. We had actual people who knew how to dance, people who had no clue, and people who shouldn't be allowed on a dancefloor (me) but somehow the band played songs that worked for all of us and the amount of fun we had just cannot be put into words. Also, they ended their set beautifully, giving us a chance to go round all our guests and exchange a few words and a hug, which meant the world to me.
Fantastic band, I very much recommend them!

Tim and Debby,
I have finally recovered enough to get an email over, what a brilliant evening last Saturday was. The amount of friends asking us about the band, how great an idea it was and when we are doing the next one... The list goes on. It was lovely to see all our friends and just getting stuck in largely due to your fab caller, making it tricky to stay seated. Most of all it was great to see Meg with a smile on her face despite me trying to get out of dancing due to me cast!
Thanks for all your help and may see you for my 30th in two years. Feel free to add any to your website.

Hi Debby and the band!
Many thanks for playing at the ceilidh on Saturday for Lesley and Mike’s wedding.
The band was really great and the posts on Facebook are super.
Many thanks for playing my tune - it meant a lot.
Glad you enjoyed my baking too!
Lots and lots of people have commented on how good you all were and you were excellent at calling dances so everyone could join in!
We will certainly recommend you to anyone looking for a band in the South
Best wishes Fiona"

We are always happy to play songs from your device through our Band sound system. Eg. first dance at a wedding. Our caller is also experienced at announcing the first dance and gathering your people around.
How many breaks do you take? How long are they?
Normally one break but It depends on the function. It's best not to leave too long a break between sets, around 30 mins is a good guide. We play live for up to 2 hours, but if you would like 90 minutes straight off then move on to something else that's fine. It's your event. Just tell us what you would like.

YES YES YES it is with Spill The Whisky! We love our work and get brilliant feedback of from clients who cant believe how many non dancing guests danced! Don't book a dull, boring uninspiring alternative. It's your special day!

A mix of modern and popular acoustic songs are often performed by the band if the dancers need a rest.

So a professional but friendly service all round.
