Amazing band and fantastic caller! We had them for our wedding in August last year and they truly made the evening magical—everyone was complimenting them. They learnt our first dance song specially for us, kept everyone on track during the ceilidh dances, and played a great selection of popular songs in between. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Excellent band, so professional and excellent at simplifying the dances so that they were simple yet still fun enough for a large group. The acoustics at our venue were challenging for the band but they were so professional and made it a great success. Would definitely recommend!

David and his band played for our Hampshire wedding and they were phenomenal. We had both Scottish guests and people who had never ceilidhed before and he was an expert at helping everyone join in. He made us (the bride and groom) feel so special, tailoring some dances to our interests and making all our guests feel at ease. He also allowed us to use his speaker and disco lights after the ceilidh for our disco which was amazing. Throughout, David was incredibly responsive and communicative. It's hard to find a good ceilidh band in the South, but we really recommend David!

Michael and the team were incredible, everyone absolutely loved it! They were patient with the attendees during the calling and got everyone out of their chairs, even the shy ones. Would absolutely book again! Thank you so much for a great night.

What a super night we had for my wife's birthday with friends which was made all the better by the addition of Chimera to the evening. What a lovely gentle group who couldn't have done more to fit in with our night and played lovely music which gave space to those chatting but was totally immersive when dancing Caleidhs...Annie is a great caller and was very patient with us all meaning everyone felt included. Thank you all...

Couldn't have been happier with Drop Spindle. They were patient and good fun, clearly explaining the dance to the 95% of guests unfamiliar before a superb musical performance. All guests loved it and were very complimentary. We had a DJ there too to play music between breaks and sets and he was also very complimentary. Thank you so much 😁

Great fun. The band has played a variety of folk tunes and a great rendition of happy birthday. The calling was really good humoured and pitched well for the dancing abilities! Throughly recommended. I should have told them to come in jeans and a T shirt though - they were by far the smartest people in the room - apart from the birthday girl. Thanks guys!

We used this band for our recent hockey charity fundraiser and they did an amazing job! They where very understanding when my payment to them had to be later than expected and had great communication across the board!! We had many people never dance at a ceilidh before and the caller did a great job getting everyone up on their feet and dancing like they've done it a million times before - the music itself was brilliant and I'm so happy to have found them for this special occasion!! Would highly recommend for those in the future and would use again!!

We were really impressed. The band were very professional despite our attendees running behind time to start, and everyone had a great time
