  7. booked Rock and Reel for a wedding

    Verified

    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!

  8. booked Bowstring for a private event

    Verified

    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!

  10. booked John Carver Reels & Ceilidh Calling for a private event

    Verified

    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.

  19. booked The Rock Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    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.
