Jaime booked Ceilidh With Us for a wedding
Thursday, 28th May 2026
VerifiedThank your team all so much for Saturday, we cannot believe how well it all went, they absolutely made the wedding, they adapted to the heat wave and read the energy levels of the crowd so well, we ended up all dancing outside and it was just beautiful! The caller was amazing!! (I'm so sorry i've forgotten his name, such a lovely guy!) Even though we had a lot of non-english speakers, he explained everything so well and was patient and it was perfect! We've had loads of our Spanish friends and family say they want to bring this Ceildh business to spain because they enjoyed it so much! Was just the most joyful day. Thank you all so much!!!

VerifiedCeithir were absolutely brilliant for our wedding, can't fault them one bit. Very good comms prior to the wedding, all set up in very good time, music was great and the calling for the ceilidh was clear and easy to understand (half the wedding was English and all seemed to get the hang of it!). Lovely bunch of guys, highly recommend!

Sally booked The Sweeney Ceilidh Band for a private event
Tuesday, 26th May 2026
VerifiedBook this band! Their music is incredible Michael is so talented and his violin alone has the whole room skipping about with glee, Nick on this occasion was on the drum and our caller - so personable and what a skill to create ordered dancers from our rabble. We had THE BEST fun. For me a ceilidh is the only way to celebrate any event - so if you've never tried it go for it you won't be disappointed. My work friends all said it was a fantastic way to bring everyone together. I would use The Sweeney Band again without hesitation. THANK YOU for such a wonderful evening of sheer fun !

Thursday, 21st May 2026
VerifiedWe were so happy to have found The Fairdin Ceilidh Band, from the planning to performing Jonathan was a great help. The music was exactly what we wanted, a mix of Ceilidh and folk music. The guests were up dancing and doing their best with helpful instructions and lots of laughs…even now sometime after the wedding we are all still reminiscing of a fantastic evening.

David booked Price of My Pig for a wedding
Thursday, 7th May 2026
VerifiedWe had a wedding party, out in the wilds of Lancashire, in two large scouting pavilions. The event was going well before Price of My Pig arrived and it got even better when POMP hit the stage. Their music was flawless, their crowd interaction matched to the people dancing and their dance instructions clear and jovial. In next to no time the dance floor was heaving. We must've had somewhere between 60 and a hundred on the floor for the last dance. Thanks to the band for a great night and a memorable wedding for my son and his partner. Worth every penny.
Lauren booked The Big Shoogle for a wedding
Wednesday, 6th May 2026
VerifiedWe absolutely adored The Big Shoogle! We couldn’t have asked for a better band than The Big Shoogle for our wedding. From the moment they started, they brought an incredible energy that completely lifted the room and got people of all ages up dancing, some of whom we never expected to leave their seats! They struck the perfect balance between traditional ceilidh fun and making everyone feel comfortable joining in, whether they were seasoned dancers or total beginners. What really stood out was how accommodating they were - they happily took specific song requests and made sure the night felt personal to us. Professional, lively, and genuinely great fun, The Big Shoogle played a huge part in making our wedding unforgettable. We’d recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to get a crowd going and create a brilliant atmosphere.
