Latest reviews of our Wedding Ceilidh Bands in County Antrim

"What a super night we had for my wife's birthday with friends which was made all the better by the addition of Chimera to the evening. What a lovely gentle group who couldn't have done more to fit in with our night and played lovely music which gave space to those chatting but was totally immersive when dancing Caleidhs...Annie is a great caller and was very patient with us all meaning everyone felt included. Thank you all..."

David hired Chimera for a Birthday party (available in County Antrim)

Verified Review, 4 April 2025

"Couldn't have been happier with Drop Spindle. They were patient and good fun, clearly explaining the dance to the 95% of guests unfamiliar before a superb musical performance. All guests loved it and were very complimentary. We had a DJ there too to play music between breaks and sets and he was also very complimentary. Thank you so much 😁"

Mr hired Drop Spindle Ceilidh Band for a Wedding (available in County Antrim)

Verified Review, 4 April 2025

"Great fun. The band has played a variety of folk tunes and a great rendition of happy birthday. The calling was really good humoured and pitched well for the dancing abilities! Throughly recommended. I should have told them to come in jeans and a T shirt though - they were by far the smartest people in the room - apart from the birthday girl. Thanks guys! "
