Barn dances are great for parties
Scallywag have had years of experience in making barn dances work for parties.
We are able to change from a traditional line-up and sound to a contemporary, electric sound within the space of one number.
This makes us extremely flexible to adjust our sound to suit all age groups.
We can play acoustically or really crank it up depending on how many people you invite.
The only thing you really need to let us know in advance is whether you want us to bring a drummer as that will affect the cost.
A few things to consider
- Children above the
age of 6 love to dance at ceilidhs but dances always work better when there
are about 75% adults in attendance (see image below). The really young ones
are usually happy to jump around to the music at the sides.
- Timings - If you are
running from 7:30 to 11:30 it is better to have a longer second half. It's
good, therefore, to break for food around 9:00. If you are still eating
at 9:30 we will play some background music while you finish up. That way
you still get enough dancing time in the second half. 9:30 is usually a
good time to do 'Happy Birthday', speeches or the raffle (or all three)
depending on what event it is.
- Food If you haven't decided
how you are going to do your food yet have a look at our food section on
the right
Remember, the more food you organise, the longer it will take to eat and
the longer it will take to clear away.
