If you’re looking to hire one of our London ceilidh bands to perform at your next event, then we recommend a minimum of around 8-10 guests to make up one dancing group - but, of course, the more the merrier. For a bigger event, such as a ceilidh wedding performance, between 20-30 people is perfect for the famous Strip the Willow dance. It’s always better to have more people than suggested as it allows guests to sit down and have a breather while other guests get up and dance along, and also not everyone may necessarily want to get up and join in with the performance.
