A great band of musicians! They are friendly and easy-going. I felt they handled the majority non-Scottish / international (and therefore largely clueless) dancers very well, with just the right balance between direction and letting them have a little chaotic fun - everyone I spoke to afterwards said they had a great time. The highlight of our event. Well done!

A First class experience. Peema and the band interacted with us throughout the evening. The dancing was enjoyed and the band was highly appreciated. The party was the best ever. I am having daily texts and emails complimenting the band from guests.

David was brilliant from beginning to end! He listened to my requests and put them into action, used gender neural language as requested, contacted the venue himself ahead of time rather than needing me to be the middle man the whole time. It made all the difference knowing he was sorting things out himself! The music was fab, from surprise bagpipes to folk songs and classics. Lovely group of guys, fantastic music, highly recommend to anyone wanting to throw a ceilidh! Thanks David!

They were genuinely fantastic. Excellent caller with good humour when the entire party were utterly rubbish ha! Vocals were sensational - fantastic cover of pink pony club! All round made the night. Super flexible. Read the room with an excellent DJ set right to the end.

Stephen and the band were excellent from start to finish and the ceilidh really added something special to the day. They were quickly able to get everybody involved whether they were familiar with ceilidhs or completely new and the music was fantastic! We would highly recommend!

Fairgreen Ceilidg Band were fantastic at my 60th birthdaycelebrations! Communication before the event was prompt and they were accommodating with all my requests. They had everybody up and dancing on.the night, and the feedback about the event was incredibly positive. I thoroughly recommend them.

The Navvies were perfect. Timely responses to emails and the band were very flexible as we compromised on available space and the weather. Music quality was brilliant and I would certainly recommend them. We were a small family gathering (30 people) and nothing was too much trouble for this small group.

Drop Spindle were just fantastic. The few hours we spent ceilidh-ing on our wedding day are up there in my favourite hours I have ever had. To look around the room and see everyone happy, smiling, laughing and filled with joy was beyond words. The band are absolutely lovely and fantastic. They bring a brilliant lively energy and Michael explained things so well. The music is also just excellent. Could not recommend highly enough - this is the ceilidh band to book. Thanks again for making our day so special. Jack and Sam

Drop Spindle Ceilidh band are unbelievably talented, super friendly and just so fun!! We hired them for our wedding and couldn't be happier. Some of our guests had never been to a ceilidh before, but they were grinning and spinning within minutes! The band were really inclusive and we would hire them again in a heartbeat.

We had the absolute pleasure of having BlackRock Ceilidh play at my parents’ 25th wedding anniversary, and they truly made the evening unforgettable. Marc and Euan not only performed wonderfully, but also took the time to teach us traditional dances, share plenty of laughs with us, and create such a joyful atmosphere. Their performance was a surprise for my parents, and they went out of their way to make sure everything worked perfectly. We couldn’t have wished for a better experience. Their own songs were a real highlight, and Marc on the bagpipes was simply breathtaking. We can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for an authentic, warm, and incredibly talented band.

Had a great time at our wedding with Drop Spindle! They were very patient with our (limited ability) group and everyone said how much fun they'd had :') Would recommend 100%
