    Arthur was really easy and professional to liaise with and was really happy to trying out our clients requests.

  2. booked Celtic Confusion for a private event

    Verified

    They were really good. Everyone enjoyed themselves and said what good musicians they were (and how good the caller was too). It was a very special occasion, and they made our ceilidh/barn dance even more special.

  11. booked Miles Ceilidh band for a wedding

    Verified

    We really enjoyed the band. They brought a happy energy to the evening and made everyone feel able to join in with the ceilidh. The band leader (not Miles), arrived in good time and was clear about the last minute change of musicians. He and the band did a great job. Our only niggle is over some of the dances. They were not all ‘main stream Scottish ceilidh’; American Barn dance & Flying Scotsman? Also the shortened version of the Strip the willow was a bit disappointing. We understand that the band had to manage a mixed and full crowd and space was limited. We really appreciated the band doing an accompaniment to a song at the end and the final piping for the cake. Overall 5 stars for fun, great energy, clear dance calling and going with the flow of the evening. Thanks Katherine and George

  17. booked The Covered for a wedding

    Verified

    We arrived at our reception venue at 2pm to find out that the drummer has called in sick, still don't understand why we were not informed as soon as they knew about this. The DJ in between sets was non existent. The band started 2 hours late, in the meantime our families had to entertain the guests and play music off YouTube as the band were not bothered enough to provide anything anyone could dance to, the same thing happened in between sets. We have contributed to the bands fuel costs, paid for their food, drinks and accommodation and were left very disappointed. In the end after much argument the guests did have some fun, but that was more driven by the family interacting with the guests than the band itself. The sets themselves were not great and the band themselves did not know the length of the sets. Despite having a back room for a the commendations, the band took it upon themselves to go onto the stage in their jeans and old tops. The band made it very clear they did not want to be there and wanted to get out as soon as possible. Overall the experience was okay at best.

  18. booked The Swing Ninjas for a wedding

    Verified

    A real pleasure from start to finish. Bruce was so quick to respond to our wedding request, and we were able to organise a trio for the beginning of the reception with the full 9 piece (including the incredible Shout Sisters) playing us into the evening. It really helped tie the whole event together, and so many of our guests have told us how much they enjoyed the music and the atmosphere it provided. Us millennials had our knees well and truly up, my parents were (quite literally) swinging each other around the room, and even my 88 year old grandfather in law was dancing the entire final set. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again - thanks so much all. We had an absolute blast!
