Vanessa hired The Sweeney Ceilidh Band for a Private event
"David and his band played for our Hampshire wedding and they were phenomenal. We had both Scottish guests and people who had never ceilidhed before and he was an expert at helping everyone join in. He made us (the bride and groom) feel so special, tailoring some dances to our interests and making all our guests feel at ease. He also allowed us to use his speaker and disco lights after the ceilidh for our disco which was amazing. Throughout, David was incredibly responsive and communicative. It's hard to find a good ceilidh band in the South, but we really recommend David! "
Lucy hired Buchanan Ceilidh Band (BCB) for a Wedding
"What a super night we had for my wife's birthday with friends which was made all the better by the addition of Chimera to the evening. What a lovely gentle group who couldn't have done more to fit in with our night and played lovely music which gave space to those chatting but was totally immersive when dancing Caleidhs...Annie is a great caller and was very patient with us all meaning everyone felt included. Thank you all..."
