Wraggle Taggle are a professional and talented ceilidh band with many years' experience specializing in traditional music in pubs and clubs, and at schools, colleges, festivals, weddings, parties and corporate functions. All the musicians have been performing, touring and recording for many years and two are award-winning performers. Wraggle Taggle play traditional Irish, Scottish, English and American songs and tunes with innovation, flair and vitality. Musical influences include; The Chieftains; Planxty; The Bothy Band; Altan; Ally Bain; Boys of the Lough; Jimmy Shand; The Pogues; Van Morrison; The Dubliners and Christy Moore and the many talented friends we have met over the years in the vibrant traditional music scene. The band are both sensitive to the occasion and responsive to the mood of the audience. If you wish we will concentrate on one particular style throughout the performance e.g. Scottish or Irish. |
Wraggle Taggle are flexible enough as regards personnel, instrumentation and musical style to be able to tailor a band to each client's specific requirements. The band go out as anything from a duo to a six-piece, amplified or acoustic, with or without a caller. Mick Bailey (guitar/vocals), Barbara Hackett (accordion) and Mick O'Connor (banjo) form the "core" of the band. Other instruments such as fiddle, flute, tin-whistle, double bass or percussion may also be added. Speciality instruments such as Scottish or Irish bagpipes, bodhran or traditional dancers are also available. Our most common format for a ceilidh consists of four musicians plus a caller who will teach the dances from scratch - no experience needed! A Ceilidh is ideal for a successful party, as it is a fun way to get families, friends and colleagues to mix and meet and because all age groups become involved. We will bring all necessary instruments and equipment. All we need is a standard 13-amp power supply. |

Kind regards" "Fantastic job" "Hi Mick, I just wanted to say thanks to you and the rest of the band for providing us with such a great evening (11th December 2008 Thursday Royal Navy Reserve, HMS President, 72 St Katherine's Way, London E1W 1UQ). I have had many feedbacks from people expressing how much fun they had – and the concerns that people would need a lot of encouragement to dance did not materialise at all! I think you guys did a fantastic job so thanks very much! Hope you all have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year" Pui Shan Pang, Arrow Therapeutics Ltd 16th Dec 2008 "Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon" "Dear Mick and Mick, Thanks so much for entertaining members of the NW3 Good Neighbour Scheme and the Henderson Court lunch club on Monday.

(25th October 2008 Saturday Middle Temple, Middle Temple Lane, London EC4) Subject: Our Golden Wedding Occasion Good morning Clare and Kate, Just to say that everything worked out splendidly - even though my speech, plus other "unexpected" ones, took a little longer and reduced the dancing time.
