We 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.

Superb 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

Such 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!

Stephen 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.

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. You were all excellent! A first dance song request but also a choreography had been prepared especially for us which was above and beyond what we expected. Everyone had a great time :)

We 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!

Staffin 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.

Kathryn was lovely to talk to in the run up to the day and the music and calling was absolutely great! They managed to guide our uncoordinated friends and family through all the dances and everyone had an amazing time. Would highly recommend!

Rock 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

The perfect choice for our annual summer fete. Mick & Co entered into the spirit of the event and kept everyone happy with a great mix of music. They were so popular that numerous people have already demanded that we book them for next year's fete.

The 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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
