Mary and the band were fantastic. The communication prior to the party was excellent and she was extremely helpful in organising the night. Mary got everyone up and dancing and was very patient with a noisy crowd. I would definitely recommend The Rock Ceilidh Band for any event and would gladly hire them again. Thanks for a great night

Absolutely phenomenal from start to finish!! I’ve been to many ceilidhs but this was the best by far. The calling and demonstrations were really clear and accessible, especially as a few people were first time ceilidh dancers. A good range of dances and so many people got involved. I would not hesitate to recommend this band!

Drop Sindle Ceilidh Band were fantastic. They played at our wedding and brought incredible energy to a large (c.60 people) group of mostly beginners, perfectly taking everyone through the steps. So positive and inclusive – the beginners absolutely loved it. We could not recommend Drop Sindle Ceilidh Band more highly!

Bristol Ceilidh were awesome! I booked them for a small ceilidh for my 30th. They arrived when they said they would, set up without issue, responded to messages and question in the lead up. The music was great and all explanations and callings worked well. Nothing but positive feedback to give.

The band were incredible. We had a lot of guests who had never been to a ceilidh before, however we were so impressed that almost everyone was up and dancing, which was largely down to the excellent and engaging caller. It was so much fun! Great communication before the event, and lovely people to talk to on the day. We loved every minute, thank you!

he Reel Hoosewives Ceilidh Band played at our work Christmas party, and they were genuinely one of the highlights of the whole night. From the moment they started, they brought an incredible energy that completely lifted the atmosphere. What impressed me most was how amazing they were at getting everyone involved. They taught the dances so clearly and made even the people who had absolutely no clue feel confident, included, and excited to join in. They were warm, funny, and so talented! Thanks so much for an amazing night!! :)

We hired Price of My Pig for our wedding. They exceeded all expectations - all communication was prompt and clear, they were incredibly professional and entertained us and our guests very well, managing to keep everyone engaged and keeping the dance floor full the whole night. I'd wholeheartedly recommend booking them - truly a gem of a ceilidh band!

We booked Ceol Beag for my daughter’s bat mitzvah ceilidh and it was a wonderful experience. They took the time to learn the Jewish folk dances that we requested, did some variations to the usual favourites to keep things interesting, and kept the dance floor full all night. Really lovely people and very responsive to my many questions and requests. Thanks so much!

Taigh band led a Ceilidh at our wedding in Thames rowing Club. The Caller was excellent, she explained the steps to the dancers clearly and in good time, and amde sure everyone knew what they were doing. The music sounded great, and despite us having more people involved in the Ceilidh than expected, the band made best use of the space to ensure we could fit everything in. Couldn't recommend them enough.

Rufus Return were absolutely fantastic! We had a ceilidh for 100 people in a large church. The music was brilliantly vibrant and the caller was superb with a great sense of humour. The night was so enthralling we forgot to get the band a drink :-( Sorry guys! Will definitely book again and I know others who are keen to book too! Thank you Rufus Return! You were ace!

Ceilidh was great fun, loved by all from the seasoned Scots to those who’d never heard of a ceilidh before.

Drop Spindle Ceilidh Band played at our event to celebrate my sister's hen party! Albeit an unusual event for a ceilidh, I would 100% recommend this band to anyone. The energy and enthusiasm they brought really made the event specia, as it encouraged everyone to get up and have a great time (regardless if they knew what they were doing or not). We had a group of 35 women, ranging in age from thier 20's - 70's and the band read the room perfectly! A range of different dances meant everyone could participate and we had such a laugh doing it. The dances were taught in a very easy to understand way, and the band called the dances throughout to help people along! The feedback I got from the entire hen group was nothing less than fantastically perfect! Thanks for making it an easy process, and an unforgettable event!
