We booked Ceol Beag for our wedding this year and honestly could not recommend them more! They really did such an amazing set and made our day so special. They were so helpful leading up to the day, always responding to our queries timely. They arrived well ahead of their set and were professional throughout. Our wedding guests had a great time and so many came up to us to say what a great job the band did. Thank you to them for giving us such a special day.

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.

Colin was an absolutely fantastic addition to our Burns Supper evening! Superb communication on the run up to the event and his humour and overall energy brought people to the dance floor. Would absolutely recommend if you want a more personalised and easygoing option for some ceilidh entertainment which is exactly what we were after. Funny, energetic and adaptable - thank you!!!

The Buchanan Ceilidh Band were fantastic from start to finish. We had quite an urgent job for a booking the next week, plus a bunch of event-specific requests, and the band fulfilled all of them with enthusiasm and good humour. The communication was excellent, and they were all round fantastic performers and great fun. We had LOTS of good reviews from our guests afterwards. Thank you!

We couldn't recommend Aly and the band enough, they were so friendly, professional, and are incredibly talented musicians. They handled our wonderfully chaotic crowd with ease, keeping spirits high throughout the night. Communication ahead of time was prompt and helpful, and on the day they checked in regularly and were adaptable with timings and the mood. They made our wedding so memorable, we'd like to say a huge thank you to Aly and the rest of the band. Highly recommended.

The music was great and the caller adapted very well to some very novice dancers and some older participants - it was a 70th Birthday party after all. Good communication from Bob. The band did 2 sets & worked around timing for the buffet. All the guests enjoyed themselves.

Absolutely incredible! Exactly what we wanted. The music was lively and beautiful and the calling of the dances was clear and suitable for both beginners and experienced dancers. The band showed up very punctually and adapted to the space and timings perfectly. Great communication beforehand. Highly recommend!!!!
