YES Celtic Folk also offer their services to manage events. Veronica and Gypsy have extensive experience with planning and managing events, and are keen to discuss any future events that you are looking for assistance to pull together.
WHY add event management to our portfolio? Well, we've been on the wrong end of poorly managed events and experienced (and been frustrated by) disorganised and poor planning. We recognised early in our collaborative relationship that we are both extremely organised and just get things done - we’re very compatible in this regard and work efficiently as a team.
About us as event managers:

ACT Brass Solo & Party Championships - a performance competition held on Sunday 2nd November, 2025
Unsolicited feedback provided via social media and email:
"You did an amazing job running this. Thank you! I hope it becomes an annual event!"
"Thank you for putting on such a fantastic show! Great music with enthusiastic participants; and an event so well run! Give yourselves a pat on the back!"
"I was a participant in the brass ensemble event tonight. I was blown away by how well organised it was, incredible effort for an inaugural event. I've been a semi regular participant in state and national championships and always felt that those events are overly stuffy, but this evening felt very inviting. I look forward to participating next year."
Pictures at an Exhibition - art exhibition and musical performance of Mussorgsky's work at the Bird in Hand Winery, South Australia:
Ingrid Mangan - Artist and convener of the art installations:
"The impact of this musical/visual collaboration was far greater than I had anticipated...its success was due in large measure to Veronica Boulton's musical and organisational talent, and to her vision in imagining and proposing the poly-artistic nature of the event."
"I found Veronica easy and engaging to work with, and she clearly demonstrated a great working relationship with the musicians under her baton. The musical aspect of the performance was impressive."
