A fantastic ceilidh band! We had so much fun and our guests loved it. All of our guests, whether it was their first ceilidh or they’ve been ceilidh-ing their whole life, had a great time!

We hired the band for a celebration of our 25th Wedding Anniversary, we were definitely not disappointed and are so pleased that we did. From start to finish our experience with Miggins Fiddle Ceilidh Bank was amazing. Communication prior to the event was second to none, they arrived and set up as asked. Nothing was too much bother for any of the band members. The music and organisation was exceptional and the caller was funny, entertaining and kept everyone on track. The band made our celebration all the better for having them entertain us. All of our guests commented on how good they were. We’d highly recommend Miggins to all our family, friends and indeed strangers looking for an exceptional band for a Ceilidh event! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕

I couldn't fault Ceithir! From the initial booking process to the moment our event finished they were professional, friendly and accommodating. Everyone remarked how amazing they were on the night and we'd definitely use them again when the opportunity comes up! I'd highly recommend to anyone needing an exceptional ceilidh band. Thank you again for marking our night complete!

Brilliant band for our wedding! The songs were perfect and the calling for the ceilidh dances were exactly what was needed for all the newbies that were attending. Genuinely, the whole band were brilliant - despite us making them start later than anticipated!

Amazing! We booked Drop Spindle for our wedding ceilidh and they were fantastic. Kept the dance floor full all night long and so many of our guests commented on how much fun they had. It was pitched perfectly for a crowd with varying levels of ceilidh experience (some pros and some total beginners). The band were really accommodating and flexible which meant that we could do most of our ceilidh outside before moving indoors for a brief spell of rain. I’m now trying to think of another occasion we can use as an excuse to book them again! Thanks so much guys. Would definitely recommend!

The Jacobites were fantastic at my daughter’s wedding in Cheshire. The dance floor was full all evening despite the majority of guests not having been to a ceilidh before with many coming from Singapore. The Calling was very clear and quality of music, sound and vocals outstanding. They accommodated all our requests including for me an emotional dance with my daughter. Highly recommend.

They were fantastic! Booked as the ceilidh band for our wedding and we loved the twist with the addition of rock covers. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great night of dancing and disco.

We booked Cul Mor for our wedding and had a fantastic experience. Andrew was prompt in communication and advised us well on format and suggestions for the evening during the planning process. Despite major ferry disruptions requiring a significant extension to their journey, the band made a massive effort to be at our wedding and in great spirits. The performance itself was fantastic and our guests absolutely loved the Ceilidh - the calling was perfect for a group with mixed experience. I would highly recommend Cul Mor for weddings or similar events. Thanks so much!

We hired Colin for my boyfriends 30th birthday in Glasgow and he was absolutely the perfect choice! Communication was great, he arrived promptly to help with set up on the night and then led two brilliant sets. He was also very accomodating around our timings and arrangements with the cake etc. One guest commented that they had never seen such a good turnout on the dancefloor during a ceilidh. I was worried if the absence of a full band would make a difference, especially for the older guests, but Colin did such a brilliant job so this was the perfect choice for our party. Thank you Colin! Would highly recommend

The whole thing went incredibly smoothly - the band were both funny and professional in the face of our lack of experienced dancers, and gave us a great night.

From the moment the band arrived, they were helpful and friendly. The music was amazing, they helped to create a great atmosphere. The caller was very clear making it easy for us all to join in. Would highly recommend. Everyone enjoyed dancing at our wedding.

Good competent band and caller Rodger. Very professional - arrived early and were polite, no problems. Musically perfectly competent 5 piece band. The only slight negative was that the term ceilidh band led us to expect Scottish dancing and tunes. The music was perhaps more English folk so some of the melodies were less impressive. Not a gay Gordon in sight!

The Blue Hat band was absolutely fantastic! They played amazing music and got everyone involved in the dancing, including many under 6 year olds! Our party wouldn’t have been the same without them - thank you thank you!
