We hired Fairdin to play out wedding reception and they were absolutely fantastic! The band are all really friendly and play a great range of covers and ceilidh tunes. My English side of the family were guided patiently and enthusiastic throughout so that everyone could enjoy the dancing. The band absolutely made the night!

Absolutely fantastic from initial communication to playing at my 50th birthday. Very easy going from start to finish, all round nice guys. Excellent music and dancing with pretty much total beginners. Ben kept the party going in an entertaining manner and the band was enjoyed by dancers and non dancers alike. Would certainly book again!

We were amazed at how successful the Ceilidh was at our daughters wedding. Fantastic fun for all ages & bought all the guests together. The caller was brilliant and everyone had a great evening. A lovely finish to a perfect day. Thank you.

Wow! These guys were amazing! They were really clear and easy to communicate with in the build-up to our event (wedding) and we're always looking for ways to make the day brilliant. The band and the caller on the day surpassed even our best hopes and we knew before they had even performed we had made the right choice. They were relaxed, friendly, adaptable and professional. Most importantly, they were brilliant at getting people dancing! Could not recommend them enough - I'm tempted to throw another event just to use them once more!

Bowstring performed brilliantly at our 25th wedding anniversary. Our friends and families loved the live music and learning the different dances. a great time was had by all regardless of age. We had great communication from them throughout, I would thoroughly recommend.

The band was fabulous, read our group so well and chose appropriate music and dances for the makeup of the group so any of the kids who wanted to could participate. With only two instruments, fiddle and rhythm guitar, they filled the space - the great outdoors - to perfection, and the caller was perfect. Their sound system was excellent. What a wonderful evening!

Scott and the band were fantastic. We hired them for our wedding ceilidh. The caller was not just clear and easy to follow, but also funny and engaging. The music was exactly what we had hoped for with a classic ceilidh vibe. There was a good range of dances, with a thoughtful mix of energetic and slower dances. They were able to gague the energy of the room well and give us breaks when we needed it! A tremendous night was had by all. All of the guests we spoke to told us how much fun they had had.

My wife and I booked fairdin for a party the day after our wedding and what a fantastic band they were. They set the tone for exactly what we wanted. Got everyone up dancing to there mixed variety of cover songs and ceilidh dances. They were a pleasure to work with kept us well informed before hand. I would 100% recommend these guys for any event.

They were ok. There are only 2 members of course so they are a good price. They will help you work out what is the best thing to do and what are the right dances. Ours wasn’t the greatest success but it also wasn’t terrible. I am not sure what went wrong exactly. I feel like the fiddle player just stopped playing at some point. Not sure if she was frustrated with the level of dancing going on. We paid for a couple of hours but I guess the set was more like about an hour in the end. That was long enough though. Felt like longer wouldn’t have been good.

We booked Cat’s Claw for our wedding and honestly couldn’t be happier with how it all went. They really bought the best vibe to the evening, and had people of all ages dancing and smiling from ear to ear. Couldn’t recommend this band enough

The striking clock are fantastic. Theo and the band played at our wedding in Bristol, and brought their own PA system along too. They were very kind to incorporate a Scandinavian song to our Scandinavian wedding which was a lovely touch. Highly recommended for a good party!

Point Five provided 3 musicians for our wedding ceilidh. They were superb! They talked us through the dances and played beautifully. They were also great communicators and were totally professional - punctual and accommodating for our wishes.

Mike and David entertained us at our family party. Everyone had an absolutely brilliant time, Mike even got us all dancing which caused a great deal of hilarity! I'd thoroughly recommend them to turn any occasion into one to be fondly remembered.

Fantastic band . We had a wonderful night at my daughters 30th/ surprise elopement party. Mary was excellent at coaching us and the band really knew how to keep everyone participating. Also the communication prior to the event was amazing. Would highly recommend.
