  1. booked Ceilidh With Us for a wedding

    Verified

    Wow!! How do I even explain the shear joy and fun Ceilidh With Us brought to our wedding. We had the most amount of fun & everyone at our wedding enjoyed them! My cousins had them for their wedding in August and so we knew they would be great but they completely blew our socks off. Every single one of the band was kind, fun and insanely talented. We laughed and danced until our hearts were full. They were incredibly professional but also knew how to join in and have fun. They also made us a beautiful video for us to reminisce on and we’ve showed it to everyone. I want to do it all over again - it’s all we can talk about. Massive thank you for your amazing talent !! Liz & Matt :) x

  11. booked MacDonald Ceilidh Caller/Band for a private event

    Verified

    Absolutely brilliant from start to finish! Our guests loved the band. From the beginning, they went above and beyond, even providing background music during the meal. However, in a delightful twist, Anita took over the piano for the evening, which was a wonderful surprise. Despite the meal service running behind schedule, the band remained unfazed, adapting their setlist seamlessly to keep everything on track. Once the dancing began, we needed someone to take charge, and she did so perfectly—guiding everyone with confidence and making sure our guests had an amazing time. Their professionalism, flexibility, and talent truly made the night special. We couldn’t have asked for better! Thankyou so much and we look forward to next year x

    It was amazing! Everyone loved the band and I must say the caller was fantastic as many people were from abroad and they learnt easily the steps thanks to the caller guiding them. My husband was amazed because he saw many people dancing and enjoying as never before! They were kind in every communication and open to be flexible as changes happened during the celebration. They were great! Music was good, instructions clear, the caller was friendly and we had lot of fun! We completely recommend them for any event!

  15. booked Silver Street Ceilidh Band for a birthday party

    Silver Street provided a great Ceilidh experience at my birthday party! Nearly all the guests participated in the dancing, and everyone commented on how good the band had been. Prior to the party, Martin had been in contact and was keen to see that everything went smoothly on the night. The band turned up punctually to set up and were very professional. Martin's calling was very clear; and the band adapted well to the limited space available. Thank you Silver Street!
