WHO ARE THE HOUSE DEVILS? MAT WALKLATE Mat Walklate is an accomplished harmonica and flute player who is as much at home playing Irish traditional music as he is the blues. (He won the British Blues Harmonica Championship when he was only twenty-one). As well as being a master of the harmonica, Mat is also a fine singer and uilleann piper. GRACE KELLY Grace is a bastion of the Manchester Irish music community. She is a phenomenal fiddle and whistle player, being an All-Ireland Champion. JIM RICHARDSON Jim is a superb folk guitarist, renowned for his skilful backing of songs and tunes. He is a graduate of the folk music degree course at The Sage. JONNY HULME Jonny is one of the best bluegrass banjo players this country has ever produced and he's also a dab hand at playing Irish traditional music as well. His spirited, soulful picking gives a great lift to the music. LASZLO PALKO Laszlo is a brilliant percussionist , equally adept on bodhran, cajon, congas and a host of other instruments. Drawing on a huge range of influences, from Irish traditional music to Brazilian Samba, he conveys an irresistible drive and energy to everything he plays on! CALLERS: We work with several experienced, professional ceili/ceilidh callers.

The House Devils' Reviews

5 out of 5

The House Devils were amazing! They arrived in plenty of time, the music was fantastic and had everyone up and dancing . All ages from 7 to 90 years old were up dancing, tapping their feet and everyone was smiling! Thanks so much to the band for making our Anniversary party such a special occasion. 🥰

Great communication and awesome energy! We hired The House Devils for our wedding and had the best time. The caller was clear, the dances were fun, and it was the perfect way to get all our different groups of family and friends integrating and chatting. The band also worked really well with our DJ- we were worried that guests might get tired and we might have to cut the ceilidh short- which turned out to not be the case as everyone was having such a blast!- but it was great that The House Devils were so flexible with timings and great at gauging the appetite of the guests. Thanks so much for making our wedding so much fun! :)

Everything worked out really well, they were great on all the above categories. I paid an extra £250 to add a fiddle player and I was so busy , as it was my birthday party, that I didn’t really notice anyone playing the fiddle! This was probably my fault though. I thoroughly recommend this band, the caller was such good fun when we went wrong and the sound was terrific. Thankyou so much
