  1. booked Forth Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    The band were on time, flexible, communicated well to tailor our experience. They were patient when trying to bring people to the dance floor. More importantly they sounded great and were fantastic callers for the dances where a number of the guests had no experience! Highly recommend.

  9. booked Drop Spindle Ceilidh Band for a private event

    Verified

    Rabbit Foot Ceilidh Band really made my party. Their music and craic was great and they instructed the ceilidh novices (nearly everyone!) really well. They were relaxed yet structured and didn't use gendered roles or language which was perfect for my party and crowd! I've had so many messages and compliments from my party guests and would really recommend the band to anyone planning an event! Thanks again, Rosa x

  10. booked Lochnagar for a private event

    Verified

    On behalf of everyone in attendance the other night, the biggest thanks for providing the most brilliant Ceilidh. You were all sensational. I’m so moved by the care you took in integrating my requests into your repertoire for the night, and the joy with which you played for us throughout the evening. People have said it’s one of their most fun nights ever, and I would have to agree. You’re all so incredibly professional and slick and brought the perfect vibe to the event. The memories you helped create for all of us will last a lifetime… and until they’re matched by new memories the next time you play for us.

  13. booked Ceilidh With Us for a birthday party

    Verified

    **Best Ceilidh Band EVER** I can unreservedly and wholeheartedly recommend this band… Sean, the violinist was phenomenal, Rob was brilliant as guitarist and also v helpful taking over the responsibility for the drinks/interval/farewell Spotify music, and Jake was perfect as caller and party master. Wonderful people, amazing talent on show, everyone loved them, couldn’t fault a thing. We’re having them back next year. I’m exhausted and my feet are killing me. Had THE BEST time.

  16. booked Roisin Ban for a private event

    Verified

    I booked Roisin Ban for my special birthday celebration and they were superb. The music, caller and atmosphere created was excellent, with even those more reluctant dancers unable to resist the call to the dance floor. We were all novices but with Barry as caller we all had a great time. I would highly recommend and book again.
