Louise hired Captain Bullhead Ceilidh Band for a Wedding (available in Ripon)

Verified Review, 19 October 2024

"What a wonderful evening they created! We were the frustrating, disorganised, haphazard wedding couple and the team were delightful. They played so well they had everyone dancing, including the 80yr olds. It was an acoustically "lively" environment, and they did a wonderful job of not overwhelming it, people could hear each other speak. Thank you so much!"
