"Thank you so much to Rock and Reel for being such an important part of our big day! We had great communication from Duncan from the point of booking and were able to discuss specific music requests and change things around. The band were really flexible and a couple of them came along to play us out of our ceremony before returning that evening to play the ceilidh in the hotel. Ourselves and our guests had an absolute blast attempting the ceilidh dancing (we aren’t from Scotland!). When Duncan did a fiddle performance walking around the room our friend commented that ‘it was like being in a film’! We would definitely recommend you book the band for your wedding or any big occasion. Thanks again boys! "

"Rock and Reel were amazing at our wedding. They arrived with plenty time to set up and spoke to the venue about getting onto the stage etc so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. Duncan was very friendly and interacted with our guests while playing the fiddle which was incredible. We loved the mix of ceilidh and songs. They are a very energetic and fun band. I would highly recommend booking them. Thank you! "
