Bookings

Welcome to the Helsinki Cèilidh Band booking form, we’re looking forward to hearing from you! We’ve made this form to help streamline the booking process and reduce the amount of admin for both us and you. Please add any other questions, comments or any other requirements at the end of the form.

After completing this form we will get back to you with a quote and answers to any questions you may have. This usually takes a couple of days but can be longer during busy times i.e. in the summer though rest assured we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

    The Occasion *

    Amplification *
    If there's less than 40 guests we could perform acoustic which means less set up time and less expenses.

    If a sound system is required then we currently own our own instrument microphones and mixing desk but rent speakers, stands and some other items or where possible use the venue's sound equipment. When providing a sound system we will often also need to rent a car. If you wish, you can tell us more about this in the “Questions and Comments” section.

    Number of Sets *
    For most events we play two 45 minute sets with a 30 minute break. We're quite flexible though and can play for longer or shorter depending on your wishes. On average each dance, including teaching, takes 15 minutes. Generally this doesn't change our fee much as it's other factors like travelling, picking up rental cars and sound systems that can take more time.

    Set Up & Sound Check Time *
    With a Sound System 1hr, or acoustic 15 mins. This can also sometimes be shorter. Please note - if we set up and soundcheck earlier in the day, or the previous day, our working hours will be longer and we will ask for a small additional compensation.

    Deposit *
    After we confirm the gig, it's optional to pay a deposit.
