  1. booked Ceilidh With Us for a wedding

    Amazing band! So helpful in the run up with pre recordings of the first dance and so helpful in deciding what music to play and ran the ceilidh perfectly with a large group. Lilac’s voice is fantastic! Super professional and lovely to work with-would highly recommend to others!!

  7. booked Ceilidh With Us for a wedding

    Verified

    We booked Ceilidh With Us for our wedding and we were so happy with them! Lilac, the band manager, was great with communication in the run-up to the wedding - very responsive and understood what we were looking for. The band on the day were fantastic and all our guest had an amazing time! Many of them particularly commented on how impressed they were with our caller Nell who did an awesome job in teaching all the dances to such a big crowd of us :)

  9. booked Berking Mad Ceilidh Band for a birthday party

    These guys were amazing! They were at the venue before I even was, had set up and were ready to play whenever we needed them to. Friendly, affable, funny and easy to work with, I’d recommend Berking mad to any and all who care to hear it! I had a fabulous birthday party, and I’m glad that I chose these guys to play. Book them, you won’t regret it!

  12. booked The Rock Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    The band was fantastic! They delivered an outstanding performance! I couldn't be happier and they were great at answering all my questions and even arranged a phone call the week before to ensure they had all the information and took on board what I wanted. 100/10, if I ever want to throw a ceilidh again, I know who I'll be contacting!

  13. booked The Lemon Céilí Co. for a private event

    Verified

    This band was absolutely brilliant! They were incredibly talented, punctual, professional and with a huge knowledge of all things ceilidh. They totally put all of my very much beginner party at ease (most of whom were doing their first ceilidh!), and the caller Briony was fabulous- providing clear, friendly and humourous instructions! The set up they brought with them was too notch, from immaculate sound system to fantastic lighting. We had the best time with this band. I would 100% recommend them and would absolutely book them again. Thanks!

  17. booked Forth Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Forth Ceilidh Band were incredible! They were so much fun and played the most wonderful medley for the final Orcadian Strip the Willow. They were lively but with a touch of traditional about them too! They even last minute played happy birthday for one of our guests. They even helped with the logisitics and liased directly with the DJ we had also hired to ensure everything ran smoothly with hardly any input from me as the bride which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend them if you are planning on having a ceilidh at your wedding.

    We booked 3 musicians , we wanted this band because their profile and video showed an accordionist Michael and fiddle and. guitarist so we requested these 3. Michael turnedup with what he called percussion, this was the box he sat on while calling.they started1 15 minutes all.

  20. booked Norloch Ceilidh & Covers Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Very fun wedding evening with Norloch. We had the 4 piece band for two 75 minute sets. They played predominantly ceilidh music and finished with 45 minutes of covers. We’d like to thank the band for being so flexible with the ceilidh/covers split. The band members were very friendly and helpful in the communications prior to and during the wedding. If we had one thing to mention, we would have appreciated the caller to call during the songs as well as before as we had quite a lot of beginners who got a bit lost during a couple of the harder dances! This didn’t take away from the fun at all but made the dance floor quite chaotic! Also want to mention the absolute joy everyone felt during Strip the Willow- this could have gone on for even longer in my opinion! The band even tempted guests who we would not have expected to to participate! Thank you so much Norloch! I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
