Want to try before you buy? Can we hear a demo CD of the
Band?
I always send out a demo CD for any band of more than 2 musicians. If you
are booking independently of me, DO always ask for a band’s demo CD.
I would be very cautious about making a booking if a band or agency cannot
offer a demo CD. There are so many styles of ceilidh and barn dance band,
some playing a very traditional style of music and others more in the folk/rock
genre. A demo CD is a good way of hearing what a band does, and for comparing
styles of various bands. Since most Ceilidh Bands play largely for private
functions, it’s not easy to hear a band live, but it can very occasionally
be arranged, if permission is granted by the hosts, though it can feel a
bit strange “gate-crashing with permission”.
