"Excellent ceilidh band! They were amazing throughout and we got so many comments from our guests, some very experienced ceilidh goers, that this was the best ceilidh they've been to in a while, and it genuinely all comes down to Scott Leslie Ceilidh band. I would highly recommend them! "

"Pentland Ceilidh Band made our Anniversary celeidh celebrations at the Tornacoille Hotel into a really great night. Everyone had a fantastic time. I was so pleased to see everyone laughing and dancing and having such a great time. I had a very clear picture of how I wanted the night to go, and it went exactly as I had hoped for. Obviously that couldn't have happened without a good ceilidh band! Pentland had everyone up on the floor from the very first dance, all a bit chaotic on the dancing front, but what fun it was. Also they were great to deal with in the build-up, always responding quickly to my emails. All very smooth. A really memorable night. Thank you. "
