THE LOWDOWN
notorious J.I.G is the brainchild of electronica aficionados, trad tune devotees and ceilidh dance cognoscenti. Mixing the hottest breaks from old school and modern hip hop, disco and funk with blistering traditional tunes on fiddle and accordion.
//WEDDINGS
A ceilidh is the perfect way to bring new family and friends together. But whilst we love folk music, we know that it might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
With notorious J.I.G., you get the best of both worlds; guests can join in the dance, freestyle or simply chill out and listen.
Better still, absolutely no experience is necessary; MC Dan will walk guests through and “call” the dances, giving everyone the confidence to get up and bust some moves!
