Fantastic Ceilidh band! Hired for a 60th birthday party of about 50 people. Excellent musicians, good variety of dances, made adjustments to timing to suit our event, nice people. Would recommend

They were great! We were a crowd of absolute novices aged 3 to 95 and they had us all dancing throughout the 2 sets. Not always together. Not always correctly but everyone had a great time! Lovely people to deal with too! Would definitely book them again.

Wowww! The brilliant reviews are all accurate. Drop Spindle played for our wedding this weekend just gone. To say that both of us and all of our guests had an absolute ball would be an understatement. My brother-in-law (who has been to far more ceilidhs than all of our guests combined) chose Drop Spindle for us because we didn't know where to start. He chose Drop Spindle obviously for their fantastic music, but also for their non-genered calling and amazing energy. I am so glad he did because what we got was three lovely, very talented musicians who patiently and clearly explained everything to a bunch of beginners. Most of our guests told us our wedding was the best they'd been to, primarily because of Drop Spindle's ceilidh. Thank you SO much for making our wedding so special and full of laughter. To anyone who is undecided - choose this fantastic band!

John was great at my 30th Birthday. He managed to work with 100 guests in a crowded marquee, with the rain pounding outside, seamlessly. We all had a fantastic time, there wasn’t a face without a smile on it. Thanks so much John! I’m sure you’ll receive a booking again from us soon.

Frank Reid's Band were excellent, playing proper Scottish Ceilidh tunes. They showed up well ahead of their time slot, and even accommodated us dancing outside because the weather was good! I'd recommend this band to anyone.

Ceithir were perfect: responsive, friendly, and attentive to all our needs. They worked closely with us to deliver exactly what we wanted, and remained professional throughout. Their music was amazing, and they were great at calling the dances too. We're so grateful to them for providing such a wonderful evening, and wouldn’t hesitate to book them again

Can't recommend John enough for a fun Ceilidh at any event. We booked John fairly last minute for our wedding party and I'm SO pleased we did; he was great throughout the entire process. On the day, he was fantastic, had brilliant energy and our guests raved about how much fun they had. It wasn't the easiest space but he made it work so well. Thank you, John!

Rufus Return performed at our wedding and were amazing. All communication leading up to the event was fantastic and they arrived and set up in good time. The ceilidh itself was huge fun and they got everyone involved. On top of that, we had a medical emergency (unrelated to the ceilidh but while it was going on) and the band were brilliant. They kept the first set going longer than planned to keep everyone in the main hall and were very flexible and understanding on what happened next. It made a stressful situation less so by being one less thing to worry about! All in all, I would highly recommend Rufus Return.

Very happy with Bowstring, they provided 2 terrific sets and kept the party moving throughout the night. Would happily book them again.

We booked Ceithir for our wedding, from booking them to on the day everything was fantastic. We had a ceilidh for around an hour to get everyone up on the dancefloor (which worked a real treat) and then had them be our DJ for the rest of the night. To say everyone enjoyed themselves was an understatement, absolute carnage at times (with our wedding guests dancing) but really really fantastic fun! Cant recommend them enough. Punctual, professional and very friendly guys. Thankyou so much!!
