How much does a Ceilidh cost?

by | About | 0 comments

With the booking season imminently upon us, I thought it would be a good time to write this. As you would expect, it is one of our most frequently asked questions – and quite right too, it’s not every day most people book a band!

As I am sure you can imagine it is not a straightforward answer, every event is different and we pride ourselves on our ability to tailor our packages to suit your event.

What does your personalised package include?

  • A professional booking manager/consultant who will put together your bespoke ceilidh package, answer any queries you may have along the way and be there to ensure your event runs perfectly.
  • Musicians, callers and DJ’s*. The guys on the ground at your event making it one to remember!
  • High quality sound and lighting equipment, and – on bigger events – an engineer to operate them. On small/medium size events the equipment will be operated by a member of the band.
  • Travel/accommodation costs – Our quotes include all travel expenses so there are no hidden costs anywhere along the way.
  • Any other services you decide to include. We are proud to be able to offer a large range of “add on” packages to your event. Have an idea? ​ We would love to help, contact us now to discuss options.

We understand that different events have different budgets​

And that’s why we offer a comprehensive selection of line ups/packages with prices starting as low as £900. We tailor every quote to suit your needs, get in touch now for your bespoke quote!
