VerifiedWe had a great night thanks to Willie and his band! They were so lovely the entire night and adjusted to our timings throughout all the speeches and raffles we held! They were extremely professional and turned up early, ready to go and helped out perfectly calling all the dances, despite one of the members being in hopsiptal the previous day. She was incredible coming in and still performing! Thanks to this band, our night was super successful and our guests greatly enjoyed the ceilidh!!
