- A stage space of at least 10ft x 6ft, but 12ft x 8 ft is more comfortable, preferably on a raised platform but at least a hard floor and protected from inclement weather or direct sunlight.
- Minimum of 2 x 13 amp power sockets.
- 5 car parking spaces near the venue for easy loading and unloading of equipment.

Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig.

If the venue is difficult to find, please provide directions as well as parking arrangements. It is also useful to know in advance of any sound limitations.

We can play our own recorded music in an breaks or the clients’.
We can also offer an “iPod” disco following the ceilidh if the client has a pre prepared playlist that can be connected to our PA system.

Our ceilidhs typically last 3 - 4 hours with a break of 20 - 30 mins in the middle for any food etc. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter (however, we wouldn’t normally take a gig that lasts less than 2 hrs), but we’ve found these times suit us and our clients best.

For most gigs, we normally arrive 1 hr before the performance to set up and sound check.

We are happy to perform outside, but we ask that the stage area is completely covered, to protect our instruments and sound equipment from rain, wind and direct sunlight. The stage area should also have a flat level and hard surface (no grass) and a outdoor safe power supply close to the stage area.

Most of our tunes are taken from the English, Irish and Scottish Folk tradition (including our own compositions) and are put into sets to match the dances being called by our dance caller.

If our clients are experienced ceilidh dancers, we are more than happy to add specific dances into the set of requested.

Previous clients would describe us as high energy, with a distinctively big folk-rock sound that makes the audience love dancing to us.
