  1. booked Allan yn Y Fan for a private event

    Verified

    Loved every minute of them. Thank you so much. All very professional from the start. We exchanged a few messages and the band turned up on time, were very pleasant and upbeat. Everyone loved it. Everyone commented how wonderful it was to have children getting involved and dancing with the adults. Few of us danced with our children for the first time. It was a house warming party, with around 80 guests. Now we want to do it again.

    Great band with a great caller! We had lots of our guests (of which the majority had not taken part in a ceilidh before) come to tell us how much they enjoyed the ceilidh.

  3. booked Cumberland Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Cumberland Ceilidh Band were fantastic! We booked them for a post wedding-reception ceilidh and it was such a good night. The band were friendly and professional, their music was great, and so many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed themselves (even the non-dancers!). We all had a fantastic time, and we'll remember the music, laughter and joy for many years to come. I'd highly recommend them!

  4. booked Swing The Bridge for a private event

    Martin and the band were excellent. They were very understanding and patient with us learning the dances and especially with the event running behind schedule. They entertained us all with their musicianship and sense of humour, and all of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the music and dancing.

  7. booked Norloch Ceilidh & Covers Band for a wedding

    We had a great time celebrating our wedding with Norloch. We had a group of ceildh novices, and the band did a wonderful job getting everyone up to speed and dancing. They also did a special request song and some wonderful covers. Good fun!

  8. booked Burdock Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    If you're looking for a ceilidh band then look no further! The Burdocks are an absolutely fantastic band, the music was brilliant and Dan was great at getting everyone involved and at giving clear instructions that we could easily follow. They were all so friendly and so much fun. They were the highlight of our wedding and will be booking them again for any future events we have!

  10. booked Kingsfolk for a birthday party

    Verified

    It was wonderful, they played beautifully. the caller made everything very clear. They were very polite and punctual, communication with me was good. The whole experience was lovely from start to finish. I would definitely hire them again , they made everyone feel so relaxed and we all had such fun, I am so glad I picked kigsfolk out of all the ceilidh bands to play at my husbands birthday party. I highly recommend them. Thankyou so much to all the band and caller for helping to make my party what it was, without you it wouldn’t have been the same.

  12. booked Lagan Ceili Band for a private event

    Verified

    The band was just great! They read the crowd well (it was slightly older (70th birthday party), so they allowed for plenty of breaks to rest and chat) and got loads of people up dancing, many of whom were a bit nervous to start, but ended up thoroughly enjoying themselves. The caller, Diarmuid, was a great teacher and everyone learned the steps quickly. One of the really nice things was that the music and dancing were done with the lights on and it wasn't too loud, so still possible for those not dancing to have chats in the background. The caller and the musicians were so accommodating and friendly too. I would highly recommend them!

  17. booked Kingsfolk for a wedding

    Verified

    Simon and the band were absolutely wonderful. They played so well at our wedding and created the best atmosphere. We weren't sure if the venue was big enough for a ceilidh and Simon was kind enough to visit in his own time to check the size and help us decide how the layout should be. We would really highly recommend Kingsfolk :)

    Verified

    Dan and his band were a brilliant addition to our wedding celebration. They were easy to communicate with and were flexible when we were running slightly behind schedule on the day. They even played a few warm-ups for the kids who just couldn't wait to start dancing, which was hugely appreciated by the parents. We received so many compliments and really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended.

  20. booked Norloch Ceilidh & Covers Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Attitude on arrival was not great. Unfortunately, someone suffered a bad fall after our ceremony and as a result our day ran quite late. I was sharply informed by Phil that the band had been waiting for some time... We thought the ceilidh was good, and it got good feedback from our guests. We paid for a 'DJ', however unfortunately there was no 'DJ-ing' as Phil "pushed a button and hoped for the best" (his words). There were long gaps between songs finishing and the next song beginning in the playlist (they didn't fade into each other smoothly). They also didn't have half of our song requests, and we were advised that we had to source these ourselves.... Had we known we were essentially paying for a playlist, we would have created one and played it ourselves. We had no communication prior to the wedding. We had to contact the band to check if they needed specific song request. We then contacted again to make sure all was ok to go ahead on our big day. Unfortunately not what we had hoped for.
