    Absolute hit!!! Our guests at our wedding had no idea we had booked the band and had the best time. Every guest danced and it was amazing to see everyone joining in.

  4. booked Foot Stompin' Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Robbie and team were amazing!! Their communication before the wedding was clear and consistent and they worked with us to figure out exactly what we needed. We had some of our own performances from us and guests and they were fantastic with helping us set up and test those instruments too. Then to the actual performance - it was exactly what we wanted and we literally couldn’t have asked for any better. They explained each Ceilidh dance so well, making sure everyone who had never been to a Ceilidh before (AKA most of the guests) knew what they were doing, absolutely crushed our 1 request for our favourite Ceilidh song, and ended with Strip the Willow and then Auld Lang Syne. On top of all that, the covers they did in between Ceilidh songs were amazing, such good songs and played so well - despite that fact that a lot of people were out of the room cooling off, we all loved listening to them. Thanks so much for making our wedding so fantastic!!

    Forth Ceilidh Band were the perfect addition to our wedding. Everyone loved the ceilidh, and we've had so many compliments. We were also so impressed by their ability to switch to a disco for the final part of the evening!

  9. booked Bowstring for a wedding

    Verified

    Bowstring created a magical ceilidh for our wedding. We literally danced the evening away at the top of a castle as the sun set on us and we couldn't have asked for more. They were very happy to learn a special request piece and played it brilliantly. They were very flexible and worked to our unique venue. The music, the caller, the vibe were all amazing and we couldn't have had a better time.

  11. booked Staffin Island Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    We had the band play for our wedding recently and they were fantastic! They were great to listen to and their ceilidh was fab, a little different from the usual dances, which was really fun and we had great instruction from the caller. They very kindly accommodated extra requests we had and were super easy to communicate with. A very cheery and chilled out group of folk that were a delight to work with. Thanks so much for making our wedding a hoot!

  12. booked Black Velvet Ceilidh Trio for a private event

    Verified

    Unhappy with our band party night, late start, slow to continue with dances too long trying to coax people be better to get on with the people who were on the dance floor waiting! Band blamed elderly dances the only person older than majority of band was 89 yr old Mother! Messaged band separately before leaving this review. Not helpful at all

  14. booked Newick Folk for a private event

    Verified

    OK but not brilliant. Nice people. Said by audience: 'rather same-ish' 'droned on' 'great to have live music' Lack of variety of instruments. Lacked wind instrument. When I enquired 'he's ill today' Singing was not clear from the rest, maybe just the amplification was poor quality. They turned up with too short an extension lead. The performance didn't really compare with the attractiveness of recordings on the net, Wouldn't recommend. Sorry

  17. booked Tartan Trio Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    The tartan trio played at our wedding. They were absolutely brilliant on the day, they really got the party going, the caller was great and they were happy to accommodate requests! The only thing I would mention is that the communication in the run up to the event was quite poor - it took me over a month to get in contact with them in the run up to the event. This caused a bit of unnecessary stress. But if this could be sorted I would absolutely recommend the band who were fab.

  18. booked Drop Spindle Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Michael, Merle and Crissi are just fantastic. They played at our wedding and everyone had an absolute craic, the music was brilliant - Irish and Scottish trad and they played a version of one of our favourite songs too on request and played it as one of the Ceilidh songs. Michael as a caller was so energetic and got everyone up on the dancefloor, and all our guests absolutely loved it. We would recommend them for any party or event to bring everyone together. Just trying to think of another excuse for a party now so that we can book them again! Thanks so much guys, you are legends x
