“For the past two years, we have employed the services of The Ceilidh-oots.

“The Gypsy Rogues were amazing! We asked them to do one folky set early on, then two ceilidh sets (3 x 40min) and they were brilliant at both. Everyone, from my gran to the little toddler who danced all through the first set, loved them.

5 stars - Henry Martens Ghost are Highly Recommended
booked Henry Martens Ghost for their Wedding in Oxfordshire

“Thank you for a fantastic night. Wedding receptions cannot be the easiest of gigs to play but you guys excelled and everybody had a really good time. There was something for everyone whether just listening or dancing. There were people there that did not even know they liked Irish music. They are certainly converted now. Once again many thanks for a great evening Kind Regards, John ”
