Eric hired Sir Dancelot Ceilidh Band for a Bar / Club / Venue event (available in Wales)

Verified Review, 1 May 2026

"The Cats Claws were perfect and added exceptional fun and laughed for all our guests at our wedding. Our friends still talk about the band after the big day. They also kindly showed a lot of patience for some of our guest that may have already had a few drinks. Couldn’t recommend them more."

Adam hired Cat’s Claw Ceilidh Band for a Wedding (available in Wales)

Verified Review, 30 April 2026

"The band got in touch a couple of weeks prior to confirm details. They communicated well throughout letting us know arrival times and all other required information. They arrived on time and set up quickly. We have used a number of different bands for our annual fundraiser and we had many people tell us these were the best. They gave kind, clear instruction on the dances and the music was excellent. I would recommend them."
