Dave and the rest of the guys were fantastic! Their patience when teaching us was second to none and everyone at the wedding said how much they enjoyed the ceilidh. Would definitely recommend

On behalf of the BSAVA Cymru committee I would like to say a big thank you to the Backroom Band for providing the fantastic ceilidh at Hen Goleg on Friday evening . Everyone enjoyed the dancing and it really got people mingling and added to the great atmosphere . My leg muscles are still paying for it but it was worth it !! Very Best Wishes Georgia
