Angela Bowman, Birthday Party Event, Oxfordshire
Dear Tracey, Brandywine Bridge were outstanding and I couldn't have wished for anything more, in terms of the music and ceilidh at my medieval event. They were professional, friendly and provided brilliant music and entertainment. Their music created the perfect atmosphere during the meal and the ceilidh which they ran after the meal was really great fun. I have had so many emails from friends and family saying how much they enjoyed the dancing - and commending the minstrels for their excellent performance. I was very impressed with the booking process, in that I contacted Warble Entertainment one afternoon and, by the same evening, I had booked the band and paid my deposit - so Warble Entertainment sorted out the arrangements very quickly. Tracey, through whom I booked Brandywine Bridge, was very helpful and responded to my emails very quickly. As will be clear from what I have said above, the artists more than lived up to my expectations! I would be grateful if you will also pass on my above comments and thanks to Sheila and the other band members, for such a great evening.

Katie Hodson, Team Spirit, Themed Corporate Event, Hampshire

The instruments comprise of either a Fiddler, Piper or Accordionist, together with Guitar, Mandolin, Cuatro, Concertina and Percussion. The dances are for everyone and are all explained and demonstrated in a most affable and entertaining way.

Weddings: Are you looking for something a little different for your Wedding Reception? If so, Brandywine Bridge can provide music, colour, dancing and humour to ensure that your special day goes with a swing. For civil Weddings Brandywine Bridge can play appropriate background music during the ceremony. Your reception will be enhanced by the ensemble who will stroll around the room singing songs and playing tunes whilst your guests enjoy their meals. Following the meal you might like to book the Ceilidh (similar to Barn Dancing) where Brandywine Bridge’s Caller's infectious enthusiasm will encourage your guests to dance the night away.

Corporate: Brandywine Bridge has entertained at various types of functions for many major companies in many UK locations. Delegates can be entertained "Mediaeval Style" in their own hotel or a venue of your choice. Brandywine Bridge can perform on their own or as part of a package including Chamberlain, Jester, Juggler, Fighting Knights, an Archer or even Falconers. For something different why not consider a Ceilidh where your delegates will spend a great evening dancing with a caller who will explain the dances with humour and wit.

Brandywine Bridge can also play a selection of well known and not so well known background music to delight your guests during dinner.

Performance times are flexible as the act tries to fit in with the clients requirements.
