FAQ

The beauty of ceilidh dancing is that it is friendly and open to all ages and abilities. Our experienced caller has guided all levels of dancer, from the absolute beginner to the expert, so you will be in very safe hands.

Every dance and every move will be very clearly explained so even the most nervous guest will feel happy to get up and join in the fun.

In an ideal world every dance would take place in the perfect space! However this is rarely the case and we are very used to fitting and working around the venue's available space.

As a general rule of thumb you need enough space for the number of guests attending to be able to freely move around, without obstacles to divert the flow.

If you have any doubts please don't hesitate to contact us to discuss it in more detail.

We are based in the north of England and regularly perform from Nottingham and Sheffield to Leeds and Manchester.

We are happy to travel across the region from the Midlands to the north so please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Absolutely we will provide everything needed to make your event run smoothly. All we need from you is the space to set up and some chairs to sit on!

All of our equipment is regularly PAT tested and we have public liability insurance up to £10 million. Certificates for both are available upon request.

As you can imagine it does take some time to unpack and set up the sound system. We generally would allow an hour before the first dance but are flexible and happy to work around a reasonable schedule.

We are happy to play recorded music through our PA during breaks in the dancing. We have a folky playlist available and are also happy to use your playlist if preferred. We are happy to plug your playback device into our system on request.

Our standard ceilidh packages last for 4.5 hours on site, including all set up times. The latest time this runs to is 12 midnight but you can extend this by adding up to 2 extra hours. This can be for more dancing or for the optional disco playlist service.

We are happy to offer the use of our sound equipment for a disco playlist, we are happy to arrange this for you, just let us have your playlist in advance and we will prepare it to run seamlessly after the ceilidh. If you wish to plug your own playback device into our system please just let us know.

As well as the sound system we are also happy to provide suitable disco lighting so this is a very cost effective way to add a disco at the end of your event.

It is our pleasure to help to make your ceremony even more special! We can offer solo, duo or trio ensembles to perform during the ceremony, adding to the atmosphere of your special day.

Specific repertoire can usually be accommodated, just let us know in advance so we can prepare.

WE are happy to over live background music to set the perfect ambience for your guests arrival, drinks reception, meal etc. We offer solo, duo or trio ensembles to perform traditional repertoire during your event.
