Latest reviews of our Wedding Ceilidh Bands in Cumbria

"The band were fantastic, filling the room with wonderful music and calling the steps so that everyone could follow along. Great fun! "

Oliver hired Price of My Pig for a Birthday party (available in Cumbria)

Verified Review, 24 October 2025

"We booked Price of My Pig for our wedding. Prior to our wedding their communication was clear and timely, and they brilliantly incorporated some personal touches throughout their performance. During the wedding, they were very punctual and absolutely professional. The music was lovely, and the instruction/calling clear. I've never seen a ceilidh with so many guests on the dance floor. They exceeded all expectations."

Andrew hired Price of My Pig (available in Cumbria)

Verified Review, 18 October 2025

"Booked 3-piece band for our Lake District wedding. Even though it was a small wedding (~35 people), the band was great at teaching us a variety of dances which required different numbers of people. They kept the momentum of the ceilidh going and we all had a great time. It was a dry night so bonus that we got to ceilidh outside. Highly recommend!"
