Deer's Leep was the best booking I have ever made. I had invited guests with a range of experiences with Ceilidh's, some with none at all, some with some and some with many dances behind them: everyone came to me after and said it was the best dance they'd ever had. They really made our reception special and brought everyone together. It was so special to see guest's dancing and laughing who I never thought would. The caller was really clear with instructions and the band took their time for us to practice the routine but in a way that made sure the laughter never died. The communication was spot on and they responded so quickly and were sensitive to our needs. I would recommend Deer's leep to anyone they are incredible and hands down the best entertainment.

Ford was just fantastic. Professional in all communication, and really went out his way to play a set appropriate for our event including two songs that were requested that he learnt. They were fantastic musicians and it was a real pleasure to meet them and have them perform at our wedding party. We couldn’t recommend these guys enough and all the guests loved their sets. Big thank you Ford for your lovely sets
