A truly amazing group of people and myself as well as husband...also all the guests were very fortunate to have found this band. The music was spectacular and went with the flow/ changes. It made our wedding. Thank you for the time/ energy/ amazing vocal as well as instrumental talent that you gave to us on our special day. It meant so much. Best band and people.

Really great wedding band!! Thistle and Thorn were fantastic, Stefan was very easy to organise with, and the band were really self-sufficient on the day. We had a mix of a ceilidh and a more traditional wedding set on one of the hottest days of the year, and Curtis did a fantastic job improvising and reading the room to add in breaks and change the set according to how sweaty everyone was getting. The band were really professional and patient with a big audience in a small venue, and we're so grateful to them all for learning my partners favourite song for our first dance (which was a bit niche!). Thank you so much guys, and hope you had as much fun as we did celebrating with you :)

These folks were brilliant! So friendly and communicative in the run up to our wedding! On the day, really made the ceilidh inclusive, fun and different. They really read the room and chose dances that got everyone laughing and being together! Would highly recommend!!!

Fairgreen Ceilidh were exceptional at our wedding! Communication leading up to our big day was prompt and they were extremely helpful with information about timings and set up. They were very professional, sounded fantastic and read the room giving our guests a breather inbetween dances when needed. We had a truely fun, fantastic evening with multiple guests commenting on how amazing the band and ceilidh was. Can't recommend this band highly enough!

Bowstring, the band that played for us on our 'Golden Wedding Anniversary' on Friday 31st July, were absolutely fantastic. The Chilidia music was wonderful, and the caller got everyone on their feet, having the time of their life on the dance floor! I would highly recommend the Bowstring Band.

Stringception arrived exactly at the pre - arranged time to set up. The dance floor was full from the moment they started playing.The caller Johnnie was very patient and demonstrated steps when some partygoers had trouble remembering left and right! It was a lovely evening and the band made it extra special and memorable . I would highly recommend .

Outstanding and clear communication. Added in a saxophone and adapted the song we wanted as a first dance and managed a very crowded and chaotic crowd for a celidh- I can’t recommend enough

Great service from the ceilidh band. They started on time as planned, communicated the instructions really well which was great as many people had never done a ceilidh before. They were able to make some jokes with guests too. Everyone loved the celidh and joined in. They also did a DJ service in the evening where we could have asked for specific songs but we were quite happy with their selection. We cannot fault them and would recommend to anyone. Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant & wonderful- they brought abundant joy & energy to my 60th birthday party. Everybody raved about them & said they'd had the best night. Their musicianship is incredible, the caller was very clear (and patient as we were quite a chaotic bunch) - it was truly wonderful. I highly recommend.

Mick and his band were fabulous - adapted well on the night to the venue set-up and unforeseen changes to timings. They are incredibly talented musicians. They played a fantastic range of music and everyone enjoyed the inclusive ceilidh with great instructions and calling from Simon.

Absolutely brilliant!!! From first time ceilidh guests to those who had done several ceilidh’s beforehand, everyone said how amazing Price of My Pig were! Communication beforehand was prompt and knowledgeable helping us to choose what suited us best. We went for the three piece band and a ceilidh first dance. They arrived on time and set up smoothly without distraction to the wedding party. They were genuinely lovely people who interacted with us and our guests during their sets and in between. They brought a warm and welcoming atmosphere which really helped people feel comfortable and get involved. It was even suitable for the young children who really loved following along with the dances. They brought humour and happiness to our evening reception and we couldn’t have asked for more!! Special thanks for the paper copies of the set list - that was a lovely touch and very much appreciated! Thanks for being a wonderful part of our perfect day - Hollie and Joshua
