Wednesday, 17th September 2025
VerifiedWe booked the band to have a Scottish ceilidh as part of the evening of our wedding. The band were absolutely brilliant and got everyone up dancing and having a lot of fun from the very first song. There was a real mix of experienced ceilidh dancers and first timers at our wedding and the band talked through each dance to make sure everyone knew what they were doing. Everyone had a great time and were full of praise for the band afterwards. Would highly recommend.

VerifiedSuperb band, friendly and professional. They interacted from the outset to ensure my needs were met. Very apologetic for late arrival due to traffic and played on beyond their finish time to make up. An amazing night for my wife’s birthday. Thank you

VerifiedSuch a wonderful band, and would definitely have them again. Everyone enjoyed the dancing even if they were just watching. Even my husband who never dances joined in and is now a ceilidh addict. 10/10! Highly recommend!
Sarah booked Triple Scotch Ceilidh Band for a wedding
Tuesday, 16th September 2025
VerifiedStephen and the band made our evening! The Ceilidh portion of the night was so much fun and had so many comments from guests that this was the best wedding evening they have had. After that going into the DJ part I wasn't off the dancefloor all night - there wasn't one song they played that I didn't like. Apart from the obvious saying 'I Do' this was the highlight of our day.

Eilidh booked The Ceilidh band for a wedding
Monday, 15th September 2025
VerifiedWe recently had The Ceilidh Band play in the evening at our wedding. Gary and his team were outstanding. The dance floor was full the whole night and Gary was great at involving guests who weren't able to join in with the dancing. The balance between ceilidh and disco (plus some added entertainment - Gary was in the Singing Kettle!) was perfect. We have had so many compliments about the band from guests and staff at the venue. We would highly recommend The Ceilidh Band and would not hesitate to book them again for another event. Many thanks to Gary and his team!

Arina booked Staffin Island Ceilidh Band for a private event
Wednesday, 10th September 2025
VerifiedStaffin Island were truly wonderful at our gathering for about 20 friends. They brought in additional staff members to stand in for tired dancers so that we always had a sufficient number of people on the dancefloor. Our group was international, and the caller made an excellent job in explaining all the dances to complete novices, as well as dropping in a couple of interesting facts about Ceilidh dancing. The music was of top quality, the songs were well sequenced, and we really enjoyed their acoustic covers in the breaks. They also accommodated a small request for a fiddle cover for a pop song. We honestly couldn't be happier, as were our guests, some of whom asked for their contacts for their own celebrations.

Vivienne booked Rock and Reel for a private event
Monday, 8th September 2025
VerifiedRock and Reel played for my birthday and they were amazing. Everyone enjoyed their music and we danced all night. The musicians were superb and we were all spellbound by Duncan’s lament on the violin. There was a good mix of dances which we were talked through before having a go. The band were the highlight of the night and they deserve their 5* ratings. Very highly recommended. Viv

Vicky booked Silver Street Ceilidh Band for a bar / club / venue event
Friday, 5th September 2025
VerifiedThe Silver Street Ceilidh band were absolutely fantastic! They arrived early, set up in plenty of time and were friendly and professional. They created a wonderful ambience for our 10th wedding anniversary ceilidh, the calling and music were both amazing. We would definitely recommend this lovely group of musicians! They were a little slow to communicate leading up to the ceilidh, but to be fair they were on tour at the time - so still 5 stars for everything! Thanks, Silver Street Ceilidh band, for giving us a night to remember! Vicky & Tim

Elaine booked Lagan Ceili Band for a wedding
Wednesday, 3rd September 2025
Verified⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Ceili Band – The Heart of Our Wedding Celebration! We were absolutely thrilled with the ceili band who played at our wedding — they were nothing short of exceptional! From the moment they started playing, the atmosphere was electric. They brought so much energy, joy, and authentic Irish charm to the evening, and our guests are still raving about how much fun they had on the dance floor. They guided everyone (even the total beginners!) through the dances with such friendliness and enthusiasm, making it easy for everyone to join in and have a laugh. The music itself was phenomenal — lively, traditional, and full of soul. You could tell how passionate and talented the musicians were. The band were also a pleasure to deal with in the lead-up to the day — professional, responsive, and genuinely lovely people. They played a huge part in making our wedding so memorable, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for more. If you’re thinking about booking a ceili band for your event, don’t hesitate — these guys are the real deal. A perfect blend of tradition, talent, and fun!
