Wedding Ceilidh Bands for hire in Blackburn
Latest reviews of our Wedding Ceilidh Bands in Blackburn
"We had a wedding party, out in the wilds of Lancashire, in two large scouting pavilions. The event was going well before Price of My Pig arrived and it got even better when POMP hit the stage. Their music was flawless, their crowd interaction matched to the people dancing and their dance instructions clear and jovial. In next to no time the dance floor was heaving. We must've had somewhere between 60 and a hundred on the floor for the last dance. Thanks to the band for a great night and a memorable wedding for my son and his partner. Worth every penny."
