Neil
We had a ceilidh for our wedding anniversary on Saturday and the Hilltop Ceilidh band were fantastic. The guitar and box player were brilliant musicians who set a great beat to dance to and the caller gave clear instructions that meant even the novice dancers were able to understand what they were meant to be doing without over explaining! We will definitely look to book the band again next time we have a party!
Nick Marchant
We had a big multi-celebration for friends and family over the Christmas period and it was a great move to include a ceilidh as everyone from toddler to grandparent was able to join in. The Hilltop Ceilidh were helpful right from the off and were fantastic on the day fitting in and adapting to the mood and vibe of the party. We had the smallest combo with a caller which was perfect for our venue and the dance floor was full, enthuiastic and engaged the entire time – this is testament to how well James and his band managed our unruly left-footed crowd. We highly recommend!
Paul Cordier
We hired the Hilltop band for a village Barn Dance in Oct 2018. Band arrived early and got set up. They were great fun. The music was spot on and the caller had everyone up and dancing straight away. The hall was packed but the caller adjusted the groups to fit the available space so everyone could take part. We had young children and some senior citizens as well as all ages in between dancing away. Great feedback from the crowd and they were calling for an encore at the end. All in all highly recommended and will look to book them again for next year!
Ginny Westlake
We had hilltop ceilidh for our wedding evening reception and we had an absolute blast. We didn’t have a clue what we were doing but it didn’t matter, the caller was so patient and such a great sense of humour. Our guests have never been to a ceilidh before and they loved it so thank you so much, we Would highly recommend them.
