Petition to make ceilidhs compulsory at all weddings
Jessica C booked Rabscallion for their Wedding in Derbyshire • July 2025
“It's difficult to know where to begin to sum up how fantastic our experience was with Rabscallion, so before I start to waffle, if anybody is teetering on the edge of booking... do it! We'd actually seen Robin and the team in action before at another wedding, and we knew that when it was our turn, booking them for our own wedding would guarantee us an evening full of laughter and fun - and lo and behold, not only were our suspicions correct, but our expectations were far exceeded. Right from the start, Marc from Alive Network looked after us and was really responsive, and closer to the event, he put us in touch with Robin, who was on hand to answer any questions we had - communication is so crucial in the run up to a wedding, and we felt like we were in safe hands with the team. Our wedding party of just under 100 consisted of many people who had never ceilidh danced before, and about 40% non-native English speakers, so we wondered how it would pan out - 'left' and 'right' would be fine, but would anybody be able to accurately translate 'thread the needle'?! :) Luckily, as well as being brilliantly talented musicians and just generally lovely people, the group are also great teachers, so even with a slight language barrier, everyone was up and dancing, laughing, smiling and having the time of their lives - even those who neither of us have ever seen set foot on a dance floor before were choosing to join in! What more could you ask for for your wedding guests? Rabscallion - we are so, so grateful to you for giving us such a great experience. It was an absolute delight to have you there, and we couldn't have chosen better. Thank you so much. We'll be recommending you to anyone and everyone with any events coming up :) J & M”
Claire H booked Rabscallion for their Wedding in Staffordshire • May 2024
“Rabscallion are excellent musicians who brought energy and laughs to our wedding day. With a wide repertoire of well known ceilidh tunes, they handled the challenge of 100 people (95% of whom had never been to a ceilidh before). I would recommend them for any event.”
Laura H booked Rabscallion for their Wedding in Cornwall
“Great musicians! had them as a 7 piece. Caller was supper patient but also kept everything moving along. Wedding guests loved it we had people from lots of different countries with language barriers thrown in and it really helped everyone mix together. Communication with Robin was also so easy. Would highly recommend.”
Amazing end to the evening! Couldn’t be happier.
Hannah R booked Rabscallion for their Wedding in Nottinghamshire
“Honestly couldn’t be happier with how the evening of our wedding went. We were running over by about an hour but the band were really friendly and understanding and the guests absolutely loved it once we got started, even the people who didn’t really enjoy dancing!”
Everybody had a blast! Exactly what we were after.
