Rosanna hired Aluinn Ceilidh Band for a Bar / Club / Venue event (available in Oldham)

Verified Review, 25 January 2025

"The band were brilliant from the moment we enquired. Mike was great at organising the night and they were so accommodating when plans changed. They also arrived and set-up in plenty of time. They even played a couple of songs we liked and went out of their way to learn it which was so kind of them. Everyone at our party had a great time and most were up dancing from start to finish, the dances were easy to learn and even the young kids got involved and loved it. Thank you so much for making our night so memorable, we would definitely not hesitate to book again and highly recommend them. "
