Wedding Ceilidh Bands for hire in Durham
Latest reviews of our Wedding Ceilidh Bands in Durham
"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!"
