Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Our obvious joy and rapport with our audience! We love what we do and it is our mission to provide a great night of dancing and fun!
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
We are Wedding Ceilidh specialists so ....... lots and lots of fabulous hotels, village halls, country houses, music venues, private houses, etc.. At Festivals large and small. On hay wagons; in marques and tipees in fields and gardens ........
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Well that's a long story.....there are many!
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
As a ceilidh band we have landed a regular spot at the prestigious Ruff Ceilidhs at Cardiff University Hospital! As individuals I guess its the big festivals - Sidmouth, Towersey, Hay on Wye and more. Di also provided music and musicians at Warwick Castle for 8 years.
Can you perform covers?
Yes, we can do covers of traditional and popular folk songs. Dan is our vocalist and is an accomplished folk singer. Requests are welcomed.
Do you have different line-up options?
Our usual line up for a ceilidh is 2 musicians and a Caller - fiddle, guitar/mandocello and Caller.
Our Caller is also a cellist when 3 musicians are needed for an acoustic performance.
We offer a duo of fiddle, mandocello and vocals - great for themed events, traditional background music or concerts.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We are always happy to discuss changes in timings running up to your event. We take a flexible attitude once we are playing and will discuss with you any minor changes as they might occur.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
We offer the use of our PA equipment for a playlist of your choice on iPad, iPhone and laptop etc., played under the supervision of our sound engineer, for up to 60 minutes immediately following the ceilidh. The fee for this service is £185.
How much time do you need to set up?
It only takes between 40 and 60 minutes to set up, however, we like to start the process about 90 minutes before starting so that we can soundcheck in good time.
Do you provide a caller?
Oh yes, we have a great caller! Di is charismatic, enthusiastic and as much of an entertainer as an instructor!!
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
We have a comprehensive list of folk songs and tunes that Dan and Al perform and you are welcome to pick and request the ones you want.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA) included in your quote?
Yes our quote is fully inclusive with no hidden extras.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Our mandocello player is also a talented vocalist and is happy to take requests. If the song is on the list we do not charge for this but if Dan is required to learn a new song there is a fee of £30 to cover the rehearsal time.
