Latest reviews of our Wedding Ceilidh Bands
"We had a great night thanks to Willie and his band! They were so lovely the entire night and adjusted to our timings throughout all the speeches and raffles we held! They were extremely professional and turned up early, ready to go and helped out perfectly calling all the dances, despite one of the members being in hopsiptal the previous day. She was incredible coming in and still performing! Thanks to this band, our night was super successful and our guests greatly enjoyed the ceilidh!!"

Matt hired The Big Shoogle for a Wedding
"Chimera were absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend. I booked Chimera for my 40th birthday party. Annie was an amazing caller coordinating us all, most of my guests hadn’t done a ceilidh before but everyone was able to join in with Annie’s excellent guidance. Chimera fantastic musicians and were high energy creating a fun environment. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Would definitely book them for any future ceilidhs. Thanks so much to everyone in the band for making my birthday such a fab event. "
