A ceilidh (aka barn dance) band for my wedding/ birthday / PTA?
The best way of finding a ceilidh (aka barn dance) band for your wedding, PTA, social event etc is almost certainly word of mouth – satisfied customers will happily recommend a band they found fitted the bill, and similarly dissatisfied customers will soon tell you if the band they booked for their event was not up to scratch. Local ceilidh bands often also have links with local clubs, morris sides, etc. who will be able to point you in the right direction. Many halls and event venues will also have a list of bands they have previously had good dealings with. If there is a regular ceilidh event in your area, the organisers of that will be able to put you in contact with the local bands and callers. Failing all that an excellent place to start would be Webfeet, http://www.webfeet.org. If you are going to work off of other people’s recommendations rather than your own knowledge, try to go and see the band at work at somebody else’s event before you make a final booking confirmation, and/
