Banish the Boggart are a 3-piece ceilidh band, perfect for getting the party started! Their infectious folk rhythms and energy are sure to get everyone up and dancing. The band comes complete with a caller, and the 3-person lineup means they’re suitable for venues of any size. They can also offer a duo (fiddle and guitar) for an earlier part of the day, such as the afternoon drinks reception or the wedding breakfast. And the name? A boggart is a mischievous creature from Lancashire folklore, known for causing trouble! It was thought that the energy created by dancing and playing music (such as having a ceilidh) would rid a place of such spirits, hence Banish the Boggart!
