Foot Stompin' Ceilidh Band's Reviews

5 out of 5

Foot Stompin Ceilidh kicked off a really epic weekend in brilliant style. Excellent band, really helpful calling and a well created set list bearing in mind many of our group were either very rusty or complete ceilidh novices. Included my kids in the set and couldn’t have been more helpful. Truly brilliant. Thank you.

We booked Foot Stompin’ for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic! Their communication was brilliant and the music on the night was phenomenal! The caller for the ceilidh did a great job and I think it’s the best ceilidh we’ve been to (not that we are biased). Would 100% recommend these guys.

Highly recommend. Great ceilidh mixed with a DJ set. Music for everyone. Robbie also added in some classic rock for myself. Very happy bride and groom.
