Good communication leading up to the event. Great sounding band with a patient caller who also provided some good humour throughout the event. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great ceilidh band.

Stroma were highly professional and communicative throughout the booking process and lead up to our wedding. On the day, the band brought and maintained a high energy and were able to adapt to the mood in the room and keep their set varied. They are a very talented group of musicians and we were so pleased with their performance! They also played all our requests, which really made our day. Thank you so much!!

We highly recommend Bowstring! They were our band of choice for our wedding celebration and were fantastic! Chris the caller was perfect and had the dance floor full to overflowing and the band - Chris, Ramona and her sister were excellent. If you want a good time with a band that caters for a wide range of ceilidh abilities then this is the band to choose. Friendly, engaging and perfect for the evening - Thank you❤️xx

We had a lovely evening which was made possible by the brilliance of the Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio. Everyone thought their musicianship was excellent and the caller was very good at helping to get people dancing. From young to old everyone had a great evening. Thank you

We really enjoyed the evening with Rufus Return, they were great in all respects. They all arrived in good time, set up without any fuss and made amazing music. I especially appreciated the way the caller Tom got everyone moving in a line, spiralling around the room, and joined in with some of the moves. All the guests were smiling and laughing as they danced and I've since had lots of messages saying how much they enjoyed the evening.

Without question the best band we could have had to play for our special occasion. They were top quality musicians and I cannot recommend them highly enough. We will definitely be booking again!

The band were fantastic! Everyone at the party absolutely loved them and they got everyone up dancing - my favourite quote from one of the attendees was "Never enjoyed dancing before, until tonight!" so they really drew everyone in. They were quick to respond to messages before the event, and on the day itself they were really happy to make sure that the ceilidh worked well around everything else that was going on. Thank you for making it a great evening!

Triple Scotch played at my daughter’s wedding and were simply fantastic. Everyone (at all ages and none with previous ceildh experience) had a great time. Many thanks for such a great nights entertainment- I’d highly recommend this band.

Bow and Box were brilliant from start to finish! Lovely people, talented musicians, and so flexible and adaptable, which was especially important, as we definitely weren’t the best dancers they’ve ever played for! The caller quickly realised he was dealing with a fairly slow-learning group and pitched everything perfectly. They read the room, kept the fun levels high, and made sure everyone was smiling right to the end. Even those who didn’t dance said how much they enjoyed watching, listening, and soaking up the atmosphere. We had a formal dinner and DJ the next night, which was meant to be the main event, but so many people said that Bow and Box and the ceilidh were the real highlight of the weekend. We’d asked for dances that would help people mingle, break the ice, and bring everyone together, and they absolutely nailed it. I honestly can’t think of anything that could have made it better. Can’t wait for the next chance to dance like that again, hopefully with Bow and Box if we’re lucky! Thank you for a wonderful evening. If you’re reading this and thinking about booking them for your event, do it. You won’t regret it!
