Latest reviews of our Wedding Ceilidh Bands in Northern Ireland

Lagan Ceili Band
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"The band was just great! They read the crowd well (it was slightly older (70th birthday party), so they allowed for plenty of breaks to rest and chat) and got loads of people up dancing, many of whom were a bit nervous to start, but ended up thoroughly enjoying themselves. The caller, Diarmuid, was a great teacher and everyone learned the steps quickly. One of the really nice things was that the music and dancing were done with the lights on and it wasn't too loud, so still possible for those not dancing to have chats in the background. The caller and the musicians were so accommodating and friendly too. I would highly recommend them!"
