Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Client's love the energetic, easily accessible access to ceilidh dancing we bring!
All dances are explained well before things start, so whether its your 1st ceilidh of 101st everyone has a wonderful time!
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
We regularly play at ceilidh club events in Cecil Sharp House and Queen's Gate House. We also play other ceilidh series held at Small Beer Brew, Bermondsey and Big Penny Social Walthamstow.
We are well established, so we've likely played most big venues in London and the surrounding area!
Can you perform covers?
We can also provide covers with our extended line up.
Do you have different line-up options?
We can customise to the customers budgets and vibe!
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free between sets. If you don't want to utilise it, we will use playlists in a similar style of our own.
If you'd like a DJ plug and play option using our PA after our set this is free for 30mins, then £50 per 30mins thereafter.
How much time do you need to set up?
We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!
Do you provide a caller?
Yes we do! We always have a fantastic caller as part of our Ceilidh band so just let us know whether you already have one, or don't need one, so we can adjust our line-up accordingly!
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, if you have particular favourites, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event!
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA) included in your quote?
Yes it is!
