Jigs 'N' Reels Ceilidh Bands

read moreFrom time to time, customers ask whether it's possible to book an alternative type of music or musicians for part of the day's celebrations, especially for very important occasions like Weddings (music before/during/after the ceremony, greeting guests at Reception etc). However, such music and entertainers are not within our specialist role and we would not dare to pretend otherwise. But, in an effort to help our customers seeking such services. It is just not possible to give the full range of their music on this single page - please feel free to visit their website and leave your enquiry directly with them.

Generally, a time-frame of 3 to 3 hours (with a break of approx 30/45 minutes somewhere in the evening) works well. That is usually enough for most dancers and about right for the musicians. A typical night might run something like this - the band starts up at, say, 8pm sending out the message that live music and dancing is about to start. Of course, ceilidhs for enthusiasts who regularly attend ceilidh events would probably involve more dancing and less break periods - but these folks expect dancing to that level where the dancing is the main focus and the socialising side of the night is somewhat secondary.

First off - you don't really have to hold the dance in a barn. If you live in a semi, you might be relieved to know this. Barns can be, sometimes, ideal venues and we don't object to them. But there are lots of alternatives, like village halls or hotels/pubs/specific reception venues (with a function room) or school halls/assembly rooms or marquees (on the lawn or open space).
