The act
A Celtic atmosphere could accompany your wedding ceremony with String Loaded's acoustic violin and guitar, giving the music a clear traditional character. Four performers draw on Irish and Scottish fiddle tunes alongside bluegrass, with storytelling and dancing also part of the show. The repertoire includes Danny Boy and Toss the Feathers, with Whisky in the Jar among the songs you can explore. Listen here and enquire about the ceremony or reception you have in mind, considering where those Celtic sounds and the wider show would feel at home among your guests.

Good to know
What to expect
It never settles into one long recital, which is the trap Celtic shows fall into. Traditional Irish and Scottish fiddle tunes from four players, Irish songs and bluegrass, with storytelling and dancing threaded between them. You'll know more of it than you'd think: Danny Boy, Toss the Feathers, Marie's Wedding, Whisky in the Jar, I'll Tell Me Ma, the Chicken Reel, and The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Wedding ceremonies are a speciality, with the Celtic material shaped for the walk in and the signing.
On the day
Private parties and weddings need nothing from you on the technical side. The band brings its own PA and staging and gets on with it. Festivals are the exception, since you're running the sound: four DIs and four microphones from the house rig, plus a stool for the guitarist.
Performance options
Wedding ceremonies and receptions are the regular work, and they're two different bookings with different music behind them. Beyond that: Irish or Scottish themed parties, house parties, folk festivals, and Irish and Scottish festival sets. Say which one yours is and the set gets built accordingly.
