A fantastic band that really lift the spirit
Nick R booked Rakish Paddy for their wedding in Essex
“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

Craig B booked The Ceilidh-oots for their wedding in Cheshire
“Couldn’t be happier with the band, great music all day and night and effortlessly dealt with the various changes to the plan (both necessary and forced upon them by our guests!). Very professional and I would absolutely recommend and book again.”

Ruth M booked Celtic Band for their party
“Celtic Band were incredible for my 25th celebration Ceilidh! Simon was really quick at responding and arranged something for my budget so that I would have love musicians and a caller. My friends all threw themselves into it, ably guided, and though most of them had never been to a ceilidh before, all came away with glowing reviews. They were all kind, professional and had all the equipment needed...”
Fun times dancing! So many have said how much they loved it.
Frederico S booked Rakish Paddy for their wedding in Oxfordshire
“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. We are incredibly grateful for how well the band coped with the mix of languages and English comprehension they gave us the time needed to translate the instructions and try them out without detracting from overall dancing time. We were also...”
