Ceilidh band needed, Nottingham, UK

From: John J

A friend (I have SOME friends!) needs a band and caller for his wedding in Nottingham, UK on 21st June 2008. I've tried to talk him out of it but he's determined to get married.

Can anyone help / advise of any bands in the area?

Thanks,

John

A long winded suggestion is to have a quick look on Mainly Morris website, check out the local morris sides. A lot of sides will have, or have contacts with celidh bands and callers
Sgt Musgrave might have for instance

Wow, what a lot of fine replies - thanks everyone!

I've emailed a link to this thread to my friend, I'm sure he'll find a suitable band with all this advice.

Thanks all.
