A great band and caller who were able to direct guests of various ages. They were all very friendly and relaxed. Very easy to organise directly with the band and they were all set up and playing as the guests arrived. I would certainly recommend them to others.

Blag came along and did a wonderful job of entertaining at my rescheduled 50th Birthday party. They were very accommodating, playing their first set outside and then moving inside in the break. They are very skilled musicians and did an excellent job.

Can I have a look at the playlist of a ceilidh band for hire?

Yes. You can look at the band’s playlist during the booking process to choose the songs you want and don't want so that the ceilidh band for hire can prepare the actual playlist for the event. The playlist includes the songs the band will play arranged side by side to ensure a smooth flow. The ceilidh band won't mind if you want to make any suggestions. However, you need to let them bring their professional experience to play when performing at your event.

Will there be a caller to teach us to dance?

Of course! The ceilidh performance cannot be vibrant and energetic enough without an experienced caller to teach you some amazing dances. You don't have to worry if you can't dance because a caller will guide you through every dance so that you can also join in the fun. The ceilidh band in Bristol guarantees that even the most reluctant dancer will learn some steps. The caller will call out instructions to help the audience learn the dance to every music.
