Rachel hired Tartan Trio Ceilidh Band for a Wedding (available in Leicestershire)

"The band was fantastic!!! Nicola our caller was very encouraging, enthusiastic and patient with most of us being inexperienced - she got us all dancing though! We had three players with a fiddle, guitar and percussion which was perfect for our village hall venue - they were very talented and all very nice. We really enjoyed the selection of dances they played. Definitely recommend!! "

"Cat's Claw are a fine band who really made our party! The music was great, the caller has a light touch and a friendly manner He enabled as many people as possible to join in, including 10 under 10s and some reluctant dancers. The sound was wonderful. They arrived reassuringly early and set up unobtrusively and were flexible about timings of sets. I would recommend them unhesitatingly."
