What a fantastic way to celebrate our wedding. Enjoyed by everyone including the spectators! Would highly recommend Martin & his amazing musicians. My Mum said she hadn’t laughed so much in years & as a family it was a fantastic way to bring everyone together. The best night after a fantastic day - thank you!

Great band. Good communication beforehand. They played well and engaged our guests. It was great fun. We had many comments and compliments on our choice of band and ceilidh. Bob engaged the crowd and got everyone involved. The calling and explanations were very clear. We loved it. Thanks

10/10 absolutely fantastic. High energy and had all my guests from 4-90 up on the floor. Trying to work out how I can convince my husband to book a ceilidh just to repeat the evening.

We wanted a barn dance for our 40th Wedding Anniversary and we are delighted we chose Bowstring. They were brilliant and everyone enjoyed the evening. Ramona and her band were so friendly and superb musicians. We would highly recommend them. Thank you for making our party such a success. Sandra & Andy

If you’re thinking about hiring a ceilidh band look no further than Aluinn! They played at my wedding and were so professional, quick to respond and made everybody have a great time! Highly recommend!

Brilliant experience all round, thank you John! John was super helpful in advance, and very flexible with our timings, even on the day, which was much appreciated. The ceilidh calling was great and the level was spot on for our group. Everyone had so much fun, it was a wonderful way to celebrate!

Staffin Island played for our wedding and were absolutely fantastic. All the covers they played were great, and the ceilidh was amazing - their callers provided just the right amount of instruction and got so many people to join in. The band also learnt a couple of songs for us (including our first dance song) which was so special. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

We hired Ceiligh with us the to play at our wedding. They were amazing and made the day. All of the guests have been telling us how much fun it was. Fair play to the caller, he has the patience of a Saint dealing with 100 drunk guests with zero ceilidh experience. I would highly recommend this band for your big day.

We hired the band for our wedding, and they were absolutely stellar. We really appreciated how they managed to get everyone involved and kept the pace at a very accessible level. All the guests thoroughly enjoyed every routine. Caller kept things very clear and light-hearted. Highly recommend!

The Reel Hoosewives were fantastic from the point of contact throughout our event. Chris was really good at communicating and quick to respo. Their playing was excellent and the band read the room really well. They were fun, friendly, talented and enthusiastic. I would not hesitate to hire the Reel Hoosewives again.

Absolutely wonderful time, fantastic music and perfect energy. The band were able to match the energy of the guests and slow/speed up the calling and dances as needed. Beautiful music and would recommend to anyone who wants a brilliant performance at their event.

Oh my goodness I can't believe how awesome Monster is! They were a real highlight of the wedding. Thank you all so much!
