"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! "
