Such talented musicians all around.

5 stars - Rabscallion are Highly Recommended
booked Rabscallion for their Wedding in Northamptonshire

“Rabscallion exceeded expectations, everybody loved them, from young children to older guests, everybody was joining in! They agreed to play Danny Boy on my mum's request at the very end which closed the performance perfectly. They played a traditional sentimental piece for our first dance then into the fun and games for the remainder! Such talented musicians all around.”
