Latest reviews of our Ceilidh Callers in Rotherham

"Neil was fantastic and got lots of people dancing!"

Jessica hired Neil Valentine for a Charity event (available in Rotherham)

Verified Review, 28 September 2025

"Annie is a fantastic caller. This was our first time working with Annie, communication leading up to the event was great. Turned up on time, was totally lovely and professional. As Annie's advert suggests she's great with all abilities and this was a particularly noisy and "up-for-it" crowd. Annie explained everything really well, making everyone feel included, and we just worked really well together. If anyone is unsure about booking Annie, don't be! You'll have a great event. Wholeheartedly recommend Annie for your event (and we've worked with quite a few callers over 25 years). Thanks Annie for a great Ceilidh!"

FAQs about hiring Ceilidh callers in Rotherham

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any ceilidh caller play my favourite song?

Professional ceilidh callers will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that ceilidh callers may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the ceilidh caller's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do ceilidh callers take to set up?

Your ceilidh caller will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the ceilidh caller prior to their arrival.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?

PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our ceilidh callers are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our ceilidh callers will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
