Lochnagar
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Lochnagar were perfect from start to finish. The communication with Dave in the run up was great. On the day, they were complete professionals and looked fantastic in their tartan. The music was absolutely amazing and the caller got all our guests, old and young, up on the dance floor and helped us to pick up the steps in seconds. We had so many comments from guests about how much they loved the ceilidh. Every band member was enthusiastic and kind, and made us feel very special as we celebrated our wedding. Thank you again, Bronwen and Andy "
