  1. booked Foot Stompin' Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Foot Stompin' were perfect for our wedding. Prompt communication throughout the booking process and leading up to the event. Took on all of our requests without hesitation and co-ordinated themselves with the venue flawlessly. For the event itself, they guided everyone through each dance with ease, which was a challenge given the majority of the guests were not from Scotland and couldn't even pronounce Ceilidh! They were recommended to us by a friend and we would happily recommend them to anyone.

  4. booked Serena Smith Ceilidh Band for a birthday party

    Verified

    Serena and her band proved what an absolutely fantastic party you can enjoy with your friends on your special day. The 3 band members were not only professional but lovely people too. We had such a hoot and even the people who couldn’t join in with the dancing just watched the rest of us making complete fools of ourselves. If you are dithering about booking this band, just do it you will not be disappointed

  15. booked Buchanan Ceilidh Band (BCB) for a private event

    Verified

    David was brilliant from start to finish. Before the event he wanted to know who was attending and the band played a special song for each nationality in the middle of the set which was very well received. He also gave good advice on the timing of the evening. Everyone was up and dancing, and having David on the floor with us showing us the moves was really helpful. A very engaging caller who got everyone involved. The feedback from the event has been fantastic. I have no hesitation in recommending the Buchanan Band and would definitely book them again if the opportunity arises. Excellent!!

    Verified

    Captain Bullhead Ceilidh Band was the perfect choice for our wedding! They were clearly very experienced with mixed abilities and made the ceilidh fun and accessible for all our guests. They were very responsive before the event and even added auld lang syne to the end of the night on our request. Very talented caller and musicians, kind folks, would highly recommend to anyone! We only wished we could have met them more rather than rushing off to the rest of our event.

  19. booked Staffin Island Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Fantastic band! everyone had a great time at the ceilidh! their energy and stamina was perfect and the thing we really appreciated, (with lots of non-scottish people at our wedding) was the two callers on the floor helping guide everyone though. I learnt a few dances that I'd never come across at ceilidhs too! love the chaotic ones! The only reason I didn't score a 5 for overall satisfaction, is something sounded a bit off for our first dance, and some of the covers. I don't think the vocals were set to the right proportion and it put us off a bit, but obviously noone knew our dance routine before, so noone would have realised! I would highly recommend this band for a ceilidh and loved the communication beforehand and how friendly and comfortable they were at our wedding.
