Bristol, England
Barn dance and ceilidh band with caller, available for parties, weddings, etc in the Bath/Bristol/Somerset/Gloucestershire and Wiltshire area.
Pilgarlic played at a barn dance for my birthday at Saltford Hall on November 15 2008 - some two weeks later I am still getting comments about how great the band were, how they joined in the fun and created just the right atmosphere. They were very low key in their arrival and departure, undemanding, very professional and very appreciative. I recommend them highly if you want your evening to go with a swing and feel relaxed knowing you are in good hands of professional musicians who care about the service they give. I also think they undercharge!
Thank you so much for all your hard work. You really made it a night to remember. I just hope we weren't too chaotic for you. It may have felt like herding cats... I'm sure I speak for others when I say thanks to you we had a lot of fun. When I think of the reception, I remember alughing a lot ...
On behalf of Chippenham Twinning Association I would like to thank you and all your musicians for making our recent Barn Dance such a success. As you know, our group contained a number of French people ... we had wondered how they would get on with understanding the callers instructions but they soon grasped what they had to do. Consequently they and the English people entered into the spirit of the event and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
"Very good. Only 4 musicians and a caller turned up but was fine. Could have done with some incidental music during dancers' rest breaks perhaps, but overall an excellent evening. The caller was particularly friendly and approachable and yet was still managing to get people to listen and dance, despite temperatures in the high 20s ! Thank you for your help.
Can you please pass on my thanks to your fellow Band members for what was without doubt a successful and enjoyable celildh on Friday evening. We made a good choice in selecting Pilgarlic. Your pace, volume, and musicianship were all just right for us. I have been to a few ceilidhs and barn dances over the years, but this was the first I think where I have participated in every dance. Having shown that ... Residents can enjoy dancing, I know that we will have other ceilidhs here in the future!""
