Nevis Ceilidh Band's Reviews

5 out of 5

Nevis Ceilidh band were exceptional! Their playing was wonderful, and large numbers of our wedding guests went out of their way to say how good they were. Their calling of dances was clear and very welcoming (even demonstrating where required!). And in the run up to the wedding they were very communicative and easy to engage with. All in all, I could not recommend them more highly!

Nevis Ceilidh Band delivered nothing but the best! We booked them for our wedding and they helped make this day as special as it can be. They were tasked with the challenge of teaching most of the guests their first ceilidh with the additional challenge of having french people with little English. They rose up to is extremely well (and even managed to use some of that higher french!) everyone loved it and was asking for more (after some rest of course). The communication was fast, efficient and friendly. This made it stress free and great in the middle of all the other planning. The music was great and the atmosphere even greater. Would 100% recommend for anyone planning a ceilidh.

Thanks to the wonderful Nevis Ceilidh Band we had a fabulous night to remember my son's 21st birthday just before lockdown 2020. I had chosen the band as I particularly liked their distinctive, clean, bright and modern sound. Once I contacted them, they replied promptly to emails and were very helpful with advice as regards how the evening might flow. In the evening they had arrived and set up well ahead of time so that the atmosphere was set as soon as the guests came into the hall. They play at a great pace and called all the dances very clearly and with great enthusiasm. This gave confidence to many of the party guests who hadn't done a ceilidh before. All the musicians joined in the spirit of the party, ate with us and chatted to the guests in their breaks. A lovely evening - made all the better by having such a super band!

“Good group, great playing, very helpful with the dancing if you need it and not afraid to interact with the audience, book this band!”
