John's Reviews

5 out of 5

Panic At The Ceilidh were brilliant - both fun and engaging all evening! They were easy to work with and we couldn't recommend them highly enough!

5 out of 5

What an awesome night of fun! The band, they kept us on our toes all evening, and even when people were tired, nobody wanted to stop dancing! Their caller was very good at explaining the steps clearly and it meant even those of us with two left feet could have a really enjoyable time! Don't know which band to book? Don't panic - book Panic at the Ceilidh

John is that rare thing of a very organised musician and a VERY musical organiser. It's been an absolute joy to work with him on all of the ceilidhs we've played together.
