The Swinton Folk Festival was a little wet, due to howling gales, but it didn’t seem to dampen the enthusiasm of those inside the Lancastrian Hall, Best gigs of the event went to Stanley Accrington and a new bunch to me called Beer for Breakfast, (what an awful name,) but nothing awful about their Celtic influenced folk and swing. They did doubly well as their regular fiddler was absent having chopped off his fingers; very bright. Get in touch people if you read this.

The following night on the Saturday, we went to the Huntington in Manchester and saw the second set of Beer for Breakfast, the band were terrific and the crowd asked for at least two encores
– Manchester Music Review

“Beer for Breakfast are no strangers to the folk scene and have been playing at pubs, clubs and festivals throughout the North West for the past two years. The musical pedigree of the individual players goes back much further: each has a history of playing with different bands for more years than they will admit to. Beer for Breakfast play the best of traditional & contemporary Irish songs and music, generating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere at live performances guaranteed to have you up on your feet dancing and singing or more usually both at the same time. Now with BBC radio performances under their belt, this band are becoming well known for their particular brand of music. They are busy gigging in pubs & clubs round NW England this year and are getting some good write-ups and are just finishing off a CD of their material. As well as the traditional and contemporary Irish songs and tunes, country and Celtic rock, they have been doing Ceili‟s with an excellent caller- so they are very versatile! ”
– Fylde Folk Festival

Thank you so much to all the band for a wonderful gig at our wedding. I hoped you all enjoyed it too. We have received so many positive comments from people of all ages. Some professional musicians who attended also told me they were very impressed! Kind regards, Jane”

Following a great wedding and superb Honeymoon Jackie and myself are just coming back down to earth and would like to thank you all for providing what can only be described as ‘top quality’ entertainment for our evening guests. Numerous guests commneted on how fantastic the night was and how brilliant it was to have a live band playing excellent music and getting people up to dance. Were so glad we found you and would like to thank you for helping make the day so memorable & special. Many Thanks, Jackie & Tony

Everything went very well. We were absolutely delighted with Beer For Breakfast, we feel that you helped to make our special day even more special. All of our guests without exception have commented on how good you were and what fun they had. We were at another wedding last weekend and everyone who had also attended ours kept coming over and telling us that the band was not in the same league as “the fantastic ceilidh band” at our wedding! If we ever need a band for a function again Beer For Breakfast will be our first choice! Thank you once again, Julianne and Richard

We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for your superb work on Friday night. People were coming up to us saying ‘this lot are fantastic…where did you find them??’. Everyone had a ball thanks in no small part to the brilliant atmosphere you guys created. Thanks again, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you, feel free to put anyone our way who’d like to know what you’re like! Sincerely hope to see you again in the future. Warm regards Eileen & Peter

Yeah you guys were brilliant! So sorry it started so late but we had the worlds longest speeches-you know how it is. Thanks for a great night. We’ll recommend you guys to anyone else looking for entertainment. Kate

We had a fantastic time, and have been getting nothing but positive feedback about the ceilidh. Thanks for making it all run so smoothly. Best wishes, Hannele
