The Burdock Ceilidh Band

Great ceilidh band - We had The Burdock Ceilidh Band play at our wedding in July and they did a fantastic job. Dan was brilliaant at getting everyone up and dancing and communication with the band was excellent from the initial booking process. Highly recommend this professional band.

We just wanted to thank you and the band for the fantastic ceilidh in the barn. We've had so many of our guests commenting on how good you were and it was great to see how many people got on the dance floor with your encouragement. We really appreciated how you tailored the evening to us, and included our requests. The 'Waves of Tory' was a definite highlight and the French dance was also a big favourite. Everything from making the booking to the night itself went very smoothly. Thank you for making the evening so special. We loved it.

Did an amazing job at our wedding! The Burdock Band played at our wedding in June and we had an amazing time! Dan and the Band were very flexible with timings and communication was good before the big day - no previous knowledge of ceilidh required, but they will ask you questions about the venue so they know what to expect. They set up after the wedding breakfast without a fuss in what was admittedly a smaller room than they may have normally been used to, but it all worked out fine. We had two sets of 45-60mins, with a gap in the middle for evening food. We were led through a variety of dances, some in circles, some in lines, some in groups, others with your partner - Dan does all the calling and walks you through it beforehand so you know all the moves before the band starts playing so its very easy, then you just go for it! All I'd say is make sure you have a drink ready as some of them can get quite energetic! Would highly recommend!

* Great wedding band - highly recommend * This is easily the best ceilidh band I have ever had the pleasure to dance too - they got everyone up and dancing and we laughed so hard our ribs hurt. Many of our guests had never done a ceilidh before but all agreed it was great fun. Highly recommend!

Firstly, Dan takes the stress out of organising the event. He is organised, prompt and reassuring. What he says happens. The website and other reviews should give you confidence. On the night, the band are fantastic and engaging- if your guests are in the mood then you will have a great time.

Since our wedding we have had no shortage of people commenting on just how fantastic Dan and the Burdock Band were at our wedding reception. They literally got EVERYONE up and having fun - including several uncles that we never thought we would see dancing in a million years! They without a doubt were one of the best decisions we made for our special day. Well worth the money, hugely professional, excellent quality and really friendly. Thank you guys!

Well-managed booking system. Dan was incredibly helpful from start to finish. The band was great and played just what we wanted. Dan was a fine sound engineer and brilliant caller. Nobody got away without dancing! It was our daughter's 40th birthday party held in the local village hall and it was a huge success. Would highly recommend this band!! Have no concerns about booking them for your event.

A Brilliant Band We loved having The Burdock Band at our wedding. They were so professional and easy to organise beforehand and on the day everyone enjoyed the dancing!
