Rejigged Ceilidh Band
"Professional adaptable unflappable and friendly nothing was to much trouble.
Great musicians as well, got everyone on the floor......"
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."
Viva Italia
"Thank you so so much for your glorious playing yesterday. It was absolutely perfect - exactly what we were after and really added to the atmosphere of the day."
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."
Feathers & Dice
"I just want to drop you a quick note to thank you both for performing at our party last week – you both really completed the night and we’ve had lovely feedback from all our guests."
