Thank you so much to Rock and Reel for being such an important part of our big day! We had great communication from Duncan from the point of booking and were able to discuss specific music requests and change things around. The band were really flexible and a couple of them came along to play us out of our ceremony before returning that evening to play the ceilidh in the hotel. Ourselves and our guests had an absolute blast attempting the ceilidh dancing (we aren’t from Scotland!). When Duncan did a fiddle performance walking around the room our friend commented that ‘it was like being in a film’! We would definitely recommend you book the band for your wedding or any big occasion. Thanks again boys!

Bowstring were fantastic, even with a very last minute booking. They got a very inexperienced crowd dancing happily and adapted well to the mood and energy of the crowd. They were prompt and very communicative. I'd highly recommend them, whatever your party!

When you book through a platform like Encore and don’t know exactly what you are booking it’s a bit unnerving - but I found John’s videos helpful and he was super responsive and a great communicator, which was immediately reassuring. John was outstanding on the night, he arrived in perfect and agreed time and set himself up subtly, working around us as we were eating where the dancing was going to happen. His instruction/calling was great and he combined easy with a bit of challenge - we had a fantastic evening and good laugh and everyone thought he was brilliant, as well as completely charming. He also gave us appropriate breaks to grab drinks, cake etc! Couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Kingsfolk made the evening very memorable and enjoyable. The dances were enjoyed by everyone who were talking about the evening a week later. The caller was very clear with the dance instructions and there was plenty of laughter and enjoyment with the dances. The music was wonderful. Thank you for making the birthday party memorable.

Dan was a great caller and got the party going from the beginning even though it needed a bit of arm twisting. We had a wonderful and memorable night x

Cannot recommend the band more highly! What brilliant musicians who know how to get a room engaged and Clara the caller was awesome as she got EVERYONE up and dancing for every set. Punctual, communicative and readily available to help as well as stunning musicians. Thank you for helping make our fundraising ceilidh so perfect. Your next clients are very lucky!

Rock and Reel were amazing at our wedding. They arrived with plenty time to set up and spoke to the venue about getting onto the stage etc so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. Duncan was very friendly and interacted with our guests while playing the fiddle which was incredible. We loved the mix of ceilidh and songs. They are a very energetic and fun band. I would highly recommend booking them. Thank you!

Stroma were an absolutely incredible addtion to our wedding day. The band were super flexible and knew exactly how to manage the room - there was not a single person who wasn't dancing! They brought so much fun and energy with their up-tempo dances - would 100% reccommend and book again!

The Rock Ceilidh band played at our wedding and were absolutely fantastic. They really knew how to get the guests involved, with the dance floor packed! Their instructions on how to do the dances were clear, and they knew when to up the pace. The rock music twist into the traditional music provided a modern zest to the dancing and we know our guests thoroughly enjoyed the ceilidh as much as we did. We would thoroughly recommend The Rock Ceilidh band to anyone. Thank you for adding to the fun and memories of our big day.
