Latest reviews of our Wedding Ceilidh Bands in Derry (Londonderry)
"The Jacobites were fantastic at my daughter’s wedding in Cheshire. The dance floor was full all evening despite the majority of guests not having been to a ceilidh before with many coming from Singapore. The Calling was very clear and quality of music, sound and vocals outstanding. They accommodated all our requests including for me an emotional dance with my daughter. Highly recommend."

Tatiana hired Bass Rock Ceilidh Band for a Wedding (available in Derry (Londonderry))
"Amazing! We booked Drop Spindle for our wedding ceilidh and they were fantastic. Kept the dance floor full all night long and so many of our guests commented on how much fun they had. It was pitched perfectly for a crowd with varying levels of ceilidh experience (some pros and some total beginners). The band were really accommodating and flexible which meant that we could do most of our ceilidh outside before moving indoors for a brief spell of rain. I’m now trying to think of another occasion we can use as an excuse to book them again! Thanks so much guys. Would definitely recommend!"
