Fun for novice and experienced ceilidh goers

We had the Apollos for our wedding in July 2023. They were able to travel down to our venue in North Yorkshire and were very flexible and professional in the planning/ lead up the wedding when there were changes to our timeline for the day. Having both Scottish and English family at the wedding we had a range of experience levels participating, both sides had an amazing time and are still talking about the quality of the bands music, as well as the bands caller. We would definitely want to hire this bad again for future events and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a mix of ceilidh and regular songs for their evening event.
