A fantastic band that really lift the spirit

5 stars - Rakish Paddy are Highly Recommended
booked Rakish Paddy for their Wedding in Essex August 2023

“The band created a superb atmosphere on a very wet and miserable day. They lifted the guests to the point where every guest was dancing to their last two songs at 10.45pm. The caller was excellent and very patient which helped most of the guests grasp the fundamental moves. They received rapturous applause at the end of the evening. Much deserved.”


The band was really amazing and the highlight of our wedding evening

“We had such a fun time, and it was so special to be able to teach non-UK friends and family about Ceilidh dancing; so many have said how much they loved it.
