Amazing to have Notorious JIG at our wedding. Couldn’t of wished for more fun and great for getting everyone up together dancing. Thank you so much !

We went to join in with the Ceilidh dancing last night, these guys were absolutely amazing, so talented and entertaining and lovely. Fabulous interaction with everyone, and even sang happy birthday to my 5 year old grandson. I’d recommend this group any day for any event.. excellent entertainment

Fantastic, superb, brilliant, do they have a CD were just some of the remarks made about this amazing band at Oswestry School's Burns night. I hate dancing and they managed to get me willingly onto the floor to take part ! From first contact to book to making a school doo Superb they have been excellent to deal with... we've already booked them for next year ! Would recommend for any occasion TEN Stars
