  2. booked Sebastian Fernandez for a concert

    Verified

    Really glad we booked Sebastian as a dep for our main drummer. He was professional, punctual and we communicated thoroughly before the gig to ensure everything went smoothly, as my band were playing at my Dad's 80th Birthday Party, with well over 100 people in attendance. Sebastian didn't miss a beat all night (excuse the pun). My family were amazed at the fact it was the first time we'd actually met him, which is a testament to his skill as a drummer. Wouldn't hesitate to use him again if the need required. Thanks for helping make my Dad's party such a memorable event!!

    Bass Rock Ceilidh Band were incredible! The perfect mix of ceilidh and then onto DJ later in the night. The band got everyone on the dance floor and guided folks easily through the steps. The musicians were amazing, the rock music mixed with the traditional ceilidh music was awesome!

  5. booked Charlie Ward for a funeral / memorial service

    Verified

    Wow. I just wanted to say, on behalf of everyone that attended yesterday’s Funeral service a HUGE thank you to Charlie – everyone remarked on how wonderful his playing was, how respectful he was and the overriding emotion at the end of that day was that it was an amazing send off for my Mum, and one she would have loved to attend in person! I really cannot think of higher praise than this, other than to say that everything went exactly as my Father had pictured it in his mind, however the Piping was even better than he imagined it could be. Thank you sincerely and I can strongly recommend Charlie to other potential customers.

  7. booked Andrew MacGregor for a funeral / memorial service

    Verified

    Andy was a pleasure to work with, start to finish. We booked him to play at my Dad's memorial. When I described my Dad's love of cars and racing, we discovered they had this in common. Andy shared stories about his Formula 3 racing history that Dad would have loved. I wondered if it would feel odd to have a "stranger" present for our private family time, but Andy's presence, and his playing were a lovely addition. He's a gem.

  10. booked Colin Cornemuse for a wedding

    Verified

    Colin was amazing from start to finish! We had so many of our guest comment on how brilliant he was! I wanted a specific song playing which isn’t usually played on bag pipes for my entrance to our wedding. I messaged Colin and asked the question, he responded very quickly and even offered to send a video of him playing it so I could get a feel for it. Absolutely incredible from start to finish. Couldn’t recommend Colin more if I tried! Thank you so much!

  19. booked Daniel (Dabs) for a birthday party

    Verified

    I hired Daniel for a private birthday party at my house and what a great decision that was. He travelled all the way from Wales to Newcastle and was early. He set up in the marquee and he played lots of different songs to suit all tastes and DJ’d between sets. Wow the compliments I received from so many people the next day was incredible - he was so professional and what an amazing musician and singer he is - he is a complete natural and he really made the party a huge success. What an absolutely lovely guy too and I would highly recommend you listen to his videos and consider him for your wedding or function. Absolutely exceptional. Thanks a million Daniel.

  20. booked The Celtic Collective & Acoustica! for a corporate event

    Verified

    We hired the Celtic Collective& Acoustica for our Corporate Social for St. Patrick's Eve on 16th March. Paul and the band were amazing, the music was superb and the caller was fabulous too. She got everyone up dancing and the feedback was that it was the best social ever. Nobody had really ever been to Ceilidh so I was a bit apprehensive but the band were such great musicians, with a great variety of lovely Irish and Ceilidh music which got everyone up dancing! We didn't want them to leave. People are still talking about it now.
