We hired Glè Mhath for our wedding ceilidh. As musicians ourselves it was really important for us that the band sounded really good, and Gle Mhath did not disappoint! They sounded great, modern, and energetic - exactly what we wanted. We had many people who had never been to a ceilidh before, and they led everyone through the dances (including non-native English speakers) so that everyone had a good time. I would 100% recommend this band!

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!

Came in, went above and beyond with the demonstrations of dances, kept the energy high the whole time and all our guests were very happy with the ceilidh. Couldn’t ask for much more!! Thank you :)

Absolutely brilliant! I hired Bristol Ceilidh Collective for my 40th Birthday party. I wanted something lively to get people up dancing and they certainly delivered. Everyone had a great time with big smiles all round. Thank you so much for an epic night. I highly recommend Bristol Ceilidh Collective.

An unreal experience. Colin catered to the ability of my guests (around 60% hadn't ceilidh-ed before) and everyone has given me feedback about the pace he went at and how he made it such an enjoyable party! Would recommend 100 times over to book Ceilidh Colin as a caller at your ceilidh party!

Burdock were fantastic, they had everyone getting involved and made the most of our smaller dance floor! I believe there may have been a typo on a confirmation email meaning they arrived a little later than stated but perfectly on time and set up for when we had them booked! Hiring their speakers and lights meant the party could continue seamlessly :)

If you’re looking for a fun-filled, brilliantly-performed and well-run Ceilidh with a modern twist, then Stomping Boondocks are for you. Karl and the band led a wonderful set of traditional and modern tunes, with great calling that got even reluctant dancers to their feet. Also super organisation, which I really appreciated given it was a big event for a joint 50th birthday. Karl kindly checked in with us about plans and requests beforehand and ran all logistics smoothly on the day. We had a wonderful time and are truly grateful that they provided the musical magic to make the party go with a swing!

The band were very good. Communication was clear and all my guests had a great time. I was just disappointed that they finished too early which killed the party. I think repeatedly saying it was the last dance at 10.30 pm was wrong when I had paid for a DJ for the last hour. I think the band should have played until 11pm and given more time and persuasion to get people up to dance.

Brilliant evening, many people at our St Paricks day celebration stated what a wonderful time they had. Will definitely be booking again for next year!!
