Photo of A2 Barn Dance Band A2 Barn Dance Band "A2 Barn Dance provided a reel party for our daughter's 18th birthday party - what a night it was! They were very friendly and professional from the booking stage all the way through to the last note. They quickly realised our level of proficiency on the night and adapted their playing accordingly. In addition to being consummate musicians, they are really pleasant to deal with and supportive. I thoroughly recommend them." Based in Faversham, England (16 miles from Maidstone) Hugo - 18th Birthday Party Photo of Rejigged Ceilidh Band Rejigged Ceilidh Band "Professional adaptable unflappable and friendly nothing was to much trouble. Great musicians as well, got everyone on the floor......" Based in Canterbury, England (24 miles from Maidstone) David Hawes - Rochester Dickens Festival -The Mistletoe Ball Photo of Blag Blag "Absolutely brilliant! Made the entire night and brought so much life to the party. Played a mixture of upbeat songs and irish jigs and accommodated the music we wanted for the party and accommodated all ages. So excited to book them again. The guests are still mentionioning them a whole week after our event. Most friendly and professional band you could hire. If you're looking for a band to accommodate 18+ look no further, the whole place was dancing all night. Very talented guys. Thank you so much for making our party that much better." Based in London, England (32 miles from Maidstone) Ryan McHale - 50th Birthday garden party Photo of Wraggle Taggle Wraggle Taggle "I would totally recommend Wraggle Taggle Wraggle Taggle were professional, very accommodating, and went down a treat (9th February 2019 Saturday The King's Royal Hussars Officers' Mess, Tidworth Garrison, Wiltshire, SP9 7BB). They offered both amplified and non-amplified music and using their amplifiers were able to hold a full room of 90 loud and merry party goers. I would totally recommend Wraggle Taggle for any party or event and if the theme lent itself, I would, without doubt, use them again Best wishes Seb Teuber, The King's Royal Hussars 22nd February 2019" Based in London, England (32 miles from Maidstone) Seb Teuber - The King's Royal Hussars Photo of Craigievar Ceilidh Band Craigievar Ceilidh Band "Thank you for another fantastic party last night.
