Manchester
City Life Magazine - Swinton Folk Festival
“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. “

Music Review
“……..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”
Fylde
Folk Festival
"
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! "

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 thankyou 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

positive feedback about the ceilidh. Thanks for making
it all run so smoothly.
