Latest reviews of our Wedding Ceilidh Bands in Dumfries and Galloway

"Davie and the Big Shoogle were absolutely outstanding!! We had guests from quite literally all over the world and each and every one of them was up dancing at some point and fell in love with a good old fashioned Scottish ceilidh! There was a great mix of dances from the basic of the gay Gordon’s to what can only be described as flying planks! All our guests had a ball which is down to the upbeat and charismatic craic of Davie and his band. We were officially Shoogled! "

"Great band, very friendly, able to change on the fly with timings on the day and the pipes were a nice change. Would recommend :) "

Jordan hired Foot Stompin' Ceilidh Band for a Wedding (available in Dumfries and Galloway)

Verified Review, 18 October 2024

"These guys were brilliant and suited us perfectly. The music was good everybody danced and the next day we were all still saying how good it had been. We were a small group of friends having a weekend away at a county house to celebrate a milestone birthday. There were mixed abilities when it came to Ceilidh dancing. It could so easily have been a disaster with some feeling too embarrassed to take part but Hugh and the guys were wonderful putting all at ease. If you are looking for traditional Ceilidh with everyone knowing exactly what they are doing maybe these are not the guys. If you want a right good party Scottish ceilidh then give these boys a try, you will not be disappointed."
