Latest reviews of our Wedding Ceilidh Bands in Oxford
"Thanks to Ian and his band, our joint 60th birthday ceilidh was a fantastic success. From the first dance to the last, the floor was full thanks to the excellent music, as well as Simon and his calling skills. In the lead up to the event, Ian maintained regular contact and helped with suggesting a format for the event that would work best. On the day the band arrived exactly on schedule and ensured everyone had a most enjoyable evening. Thank you Ian, Simon and Bob!"
Peter hired Ian Robertson & his Scottish Dance Band for a Birthday party (available in Oxford)
"The band were incredible. We had a lot of guests who had never been to a ceilidh before, however we were so impressed that almost everyone was up and dancing, which was largely down to the excellent and engaging caller. It was so much fun! Great communication before the event, and lovely people to talk to on the day. We loved every minute, thank you!"
