Bowstring did an amazing ceilidh at our wedding! We asked them to do a performance to accompany our first dance, which was beautiful. Our guests enjoyed the ceilidh and were up on the dance floor. Bowstring were so professional to work with, I couldn’t recommend them any more highly! Thank you again!

We were disappointed on a couple of fronts. First though, the music was excellent. However, we experienced the caller as inarticulate and a bit all over the place. We would have liked more notice that we were expected to feed the band and provide a bar tab. In general we experienced them as quite rigid - they wanted to begin their sets at their times and finish no later than 9.20. We had to work our own arrangements for food service around them which felt the wrong way round to be honest. The mic set up for my husband's short speech was completely muffled and no one was able to hear what he said. That all said we did not allow this to spoil our evening, but I would not be inclined to recommend them if asked.

Really excellent band. David was great at keeping in touch during the run up to our party. They arrived in Really good time and as well as playing great music the calling and interaction with the dancers was friendly and lively. We had a fantastic evening 😀

A very good band, several people at our party said it was the best ceilidh they had ever been to. Just the right amount and pace of ceilidh.

What can I say, Celtic Confusion were just amazing. We had a four piece band including the caller. Their music was superb, everyone enjoyed themselves and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone. Thank you for helping to create a wonderful afternoon.

We had the best experience with Ceòl Beag! They were relaxed, accomodating and created a brilliant atmosphere for our guests. We had a lot of Spanish speakers at our wedding, and they organised a Spanish speaking caller who also was a piper! We couldn't have asked for a better ceilidh, our only regret was that we didn't hire them for longer because we didn't want to stop dancing! Thank you so much!

Excellent music, great fun and brilliant caller. Brendan was very helpful when booking and answered all our queries promptly. The band was amazing and musicians very talented. The caller got us all up on the dance floor , getting in amongst us to demonstrate. He was hillarious and kept the whole evening going. Everyone commented on what a good evening it was.

Fairdin were the perfect choice for our party. So many guests have commented on how good they were and even people who don't usually get up and dance were up learning the dances with everyone else.

Fabulous. We booked Bowstring for our wedding. We had a handful of guests from Scotland but the rest of the guest had no clue - it didn’t matter. We were talked through everything step by step. So many of our friends have said it was the best idea and so great for getting everyone up and interacting, from our 4yr old to my relatives in their 60s. Thoroughly recommend.

Mike and the band were absolutely incredible. We booked them for our wedding in Liverpool and from start to finish they brought so much energy and fun to the whole night. So many of our guests have told us the Ceilidh was the highlight of the night and we couldnt agree more. Thank you so much to all the band and 10/10 would recommend! Martin and Alex ❤️
