Our Services
We can tailor the package to your type of event and budget so please contact us to discuss your requirements. The main factors that will impact the price will be band size, location, playing times and day of the week.
We also provide other services that may be of interest to you as a part of your wedding or event. These include:
1. The Brim Ceilidh BIG Band - 4 or 5 musicians
This line up is a full 5 piece band and is generally
suited and used for bigger corporate events, festivals or
larger spaces. Generally where there is a larger venue and
upwards of 120+ guests. The line up consists of Caller,
Accordion (Lead), Bass Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Fiddle,
Banjo (5th musician). Click on the image to watch a video clip
of this line up at the Little Orchard Cider and Music Festival.
2. The Brim Standard Ceilidh - 3 musicians (most popular choice)
Our most popular line-up used for weddings and parties. Includes
Caller, Accordion (Lead), Rhythm Guitar and Fiddle. Our ceilidhs are
usually 2 hours plus a short break in the middle. We find this is the
most popular duration and can be shorter if needed with a longer or
shorter break. Click on the image to watch a video clip of this line up at
a wedding at the Polurrian Hotel in near Mullion, Cornwall.

-
3 Musicians (Regular band size and includes; Accordion, Guitar and Fiddle).

3. The Brim Duo Ceilidh - 2 musicians
This is our smallest line up with 2 musicians in the band
(Caller with Accordion and Guitar). This will still provide an excellent
upbeat and lively sound with a dancing experience similar to the
other options. The main advantage of this line up is primarily around
tighter budgeting e.g. as fund raising events, smaller budgets or
where there is limited space for musicians. We do some of our very
popular public ceilidhs with this line-up.
Additional services we offer:
4. DJ / Disco
We partner with a local DJ to provide a complete evening Party Package* - Start
your evening with a ceilidh and finish with a disco! This package allows for ease
of communication in the planning of your event and will ensure the evening runs
smoothly from start to finish. We have worked on events jointly before and find
this combination very popular for weddings and corporate events as well as
smaller events such as birthdays and anniversaries. Email DJ Forrest direct to
discuss specific DJ requirements on this.
*Subject to availability on date/time requested.
5. Wedding Ceremony & Reception Music
'Dowr Glas Duo' ('Water' & 'Gray' in Cornish) comprise two musicians (Annie Baylis and Lukas Drinkwater) who can add an authentic touch of musical class and originality to your special day with instrumental covers of your favourite love songs. Both Annie and Lukas are very well established musicians with comprehensive music backgrounds (see About Us page for more information). As existing musicians with The Brim Ceilidh Band already, this could help add a touch of class to your day. Click on their link above to learn more.
Email Down Glas Duo direct to discuss specific music requirements.
6. PA Sound Equipment Hire
If you would like to use our PA sound system for your event, wedding reception speeches or to play your own music playlist through, we can provide this as part of the ceilidh booking. We can be available throughout the day to set up and assist with this as necessary. Our PA can also be used for other musicians and singers to perform as part of your event although this will be limited to solo artists and some duos.
