  1. booked Last Chance Saloon Band for a wedding anniversary

    Verified

    The band were brilliant from the moment we enquired. Mike was great at organising the night and they were so accommodating when plans changed. They also arrived and set-up in plenty of time. They even played a couple of songs we liked and went out of their way to learn it which was so kind of them. Everyone at our party had a great time and most were up dancing from start to finish, the dances were easy to learn and even the young kids got involved and loved it. Thank you so much for making our night so memorable, we would definitely not hesitate to book again and highly recommend them.

  3. booked Wraggle Taggle for a private event

    Verified

    Wraggle Taggle where incredible! Very adaptable and understanding with our event running a little late and their music and caller were brilliant! Most of our group had never done a Ceilidh before and some were sceptical - by the end of the evening everyone had loved dancing and asking for a repeat at next years Christmas party! A complete success and Wraggle Taggle really made the evening - couldn't recommend them highly enough!

    Incredible team. Were flexible to meet our budget, bang on time, superb with us when we were super difficult when the times on the day kept changing, and we felt so at ease with them. They simply arrived and cracked on like true professionals. People haven't stopped talking about and complimenting the ceilidh. Thank you!

  9. booked Stroma Folk & Ceilidh for a birthday party

    Verified

    I hired Stroma to play at my wife's birthday party with approx. 80 guests. What a great decision that was! A huge thanks to Stroma for a highly enjoyable evening. I chose the ceilidh option, which included a caller leading everyone through the various dances. Thanks Jordan, you did an amazing job! Tremendous fun - most guests were up on their feet and dancing; afterwards, everyone was talking about how much they had enjoyed it, and how impressed they were by the band's professionalism and musicianship. Can recommend Stroma unconditionally to anyone looking for a lively ceilidh band!

  10. booked Ceilidh Colin for a private event

    Verified

    Colin was utterly professional and utterly delightful. His calling was great, humour pitched just right and we were lucky enough to have him sing several of the songs. His communication was really good and I felt very confident that we would have a wonderful evening which was indeed the case. I was very grateful to him for kindly taking the time, once the festivities were over, to talk to my youngest son who has just started on the road to being a professional singer. Colin’s advice was greatly appreciated. He was also very accommodating enabling us to have a longer break between the dance sets so that my son and his accompanist could sing a set of jazz and Christmas songs. I would thoroughly recommend Colin and hope to be able to book him again in the future.

    The band are fantastic! Very responsive and accomodating. They’re fantastic musicians and lots of fun. We had a lot of ceilidh novices at our wedding and yet the caller and the band got everyone dancing and laughing. They also stayed on for a DJ set which was great, and made sure I was ready for one of our song requests so I could dance along with my mum which meant the world to me - I’ll always be grateful.
