booked The Manchester Ceilidh Trio for their Wedding in Lancashire

“The Manchester Ceilidh Trio MADE our wedding. They brought the atmosphere and brought everyone together. The whole evening after their set was full of mingling between groups that had bonded over remembering their lefts from their rights. They warmed the room and got everyone dancing, with really clear and fun instructions. A huge thank you to all of you.”

booked The Manchester Ceilidh Trio for their Wedding in Powys

“Michael and the band performed at my wedding. They were fantastic. Only a couple of my guest shad ever done a ceilidh before so Michael was great at accommodating everyone range of abilities. He was a clear caller and great fun. Our wedding was running behind schedule but the band must have waited patiently, without me noticing them, for our speeches to be over before coming to set up, they were great. By the end of the set we had most of our wedding guests up and dancing around, with our level of fun and intoxication The band played along and were happy just to call "freestyle". All of our guest thought the ceilidh was a highlight o our day and it really united everyone together!”
