Christine hired Triple Scotch Ceilidh Band for a Wedding (available in Cheshire)
"Stephen and the band made our evening! The Ceilidh portion of the night was so much fun and had so many comments from guests that this was the best wedding evening they have had. After that going into the DJ part I wasn't off the dancefloor all night - there wasn't one song they played that I didn't like. Apart from the obvious saying 'I Do' this was the highlight of our day."
