A great trio who made our Harvest Barn Dance something special. The music and dances were well thought out for the broad range of people and talent we had. The dance floor was full the entire time. Great night. Thank you

What an amazing night! Everyone had a fantastic time and the band were great. Very friendly and entertaining. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is planning a ceilidh.

What a wonderful evening they created! We were the frustrating, disorganised, haphazard wedding couple and the team were delightful. They played so well they had everyone dancing, including the 80yr olds. It was an acoustically "lively" environment, and they did a wonderful job of not overwhelming it, people could hear each other speak. Thank you so much!

We had Buchanan Ceilidh Band play at our wedding in a London pub. They were so much fun and a real highlight! Everyone was smiling ear to ear 💃🏼 🪩

These guys were brilliant and suited us perfectly. The music was good everybody danced and the next day we were all still saying how good it had been. We were a small group of friends having a weekend away at a county house to celebrate a milestone birthday. There were mixed abilities when it came to Ceilidh dancing. It could so easily have been a disaster with some feeling too embarrassed to take part but Hugh and the guys were wonderful putting all at ease. If you are looking for traditional Ceilidh with everyone knowing exactly what they are doing maybe these are not the guys. If you want a right good party Scottish ceilidh then give these boys a try, you will not be disappointed.

LOVED having Rufus Return for our wedding! Aside from the FABULOUS music, the communication was great, and they were fab at reading the room and getting people up and dancing! We are SO glad we chose them and had a fab night. Would definitely recommend:)

We cannot recommend Flaming Heather highly enough on every aspect - in the lead up, really engaging and thoughtful (with guests across the spectrum from never done Scottish country dancing to those well versed) they tailored their sets to ensure all guests enjoyed, they even did an oasis song for the manchester contingent!! On the night they were brilliant all our guests thought it was the highlight of the evening, especially those who in the run up had said they didn’t think they’d be getting up! - seeing them dancing around the dance floor it was a joy to see and happy memories made. Thank you Flaming Heather x (Our guests are already saying can we do it again for our 1st anniversary!!)

Caperbility were the ceilidh band for my wedding Oct 7 and they were amazing! Very responsive, accommodating and enthusiastic - our venue had certain restrictions (ie they don’t allow for amplification) but Vicki and Johnny were more than happy to adjust to playing acoustically for a crowd of up to 60-70 and it worked! They were also very professional and as someone with not much experience organising ceilidhs, they were very patient and helpful. I would definitely recommend them! Especially if you’re on a budget, they are great value for money :) Can’t thank them enough in making our wedding fun and memorable!

The band were amazing. We had a power cut just before they turned up and we still did the first 2 dances completely acoustic. We has Scottish relatives remark how good the band was, which is a real seal of approval. Email replies before the wedding were a bit slow, but I know the band have day jobs so that wasn't an issue. We got all the information we needed.

Fantastic ceilidh band! We had lots of guests who'd never been to a ceilidh before, and the band did a great job of calling and demonstrating the dances. Great playing and helped make our wedding party extra special.

Superb musicians with an infectious sense of fun. Communication with was great. They arrived on time and breezed through the sound check. Calling throughout the dances was really clear. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this band, they were fabulous!

Thoroughly enjoyed the performance by Stroma Folk & Ceilidh for my 40th birthday. They were flexible with timings and were able to set up for a garden Ceilidh with just electricity supply. The music was outstanding and even those who were not dancing really enjoyed the talented musicians. Excellent caller who kept us all going in vaguely the right directions and he was very responsive to the energy levels! We had a mix of abilities and ages, including young children and everyone had a fantastic time. They made a very special birthday celebration an exceptional experience and friends are still raving about it. Would highly recommend.

Really great! We had a fantastic ceilidh at our wedding and it even convinced a ceilidh-sceptic friend to have one at hers! Thank you!

We chose Aluinn to play at our wedding and they were brilliant! All communications with them ahead of the day were lovely and professional, they replied really quickly. On the day they arrived promptly and got set up. Both sets they played were so much fun, the music and caller were both brilliant. Would definitely choose them again and would recommend!
