    All that we could have wished for. An event involving all ages groups from aged 5 to 80+ and everyone was dancing. An excellent caller, one of the key skills needed.

  3. booked The Frank Reid Scottish Dance Band for a wedding

    Verified

    We are very grateful to Frank Reid and his bandmates Richard and Maddie for stepping in at the last minute to play at our wedding when our original band could no longer play due to unfortunate circumstances. Frank was flexible and accommodating to our timing, and detailed in his responses and advice to ensure our first dance and the ceilidh went smoothly. Our first dance is a memory to treasure for the rest of our lives and Frank and his bandmates were instrumental in making it happen. The music was fantastic and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the Ceilidh (whether seasoned dancers or first timers). Thank you so much!

  5. booked Monkey See Monkey Do for a wedding

    Helen was great to communicate and plan with before the day. The band were very flexible on the day as dinner was running a bit late. The players were excellent, fun, and lively - really inspired everyone to get up and dance. And the caller was just great - amusing and encouraging and set just the right tone. A fantastic night for all ages and abilities. Thank you

    Firecrest Ceilidh band were the perfect choice for our wedding! They played beautifully, and were extremely communicative in the weeks and months approaching the big day.

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

    Verified

    John Carver was a delight - he coped very well when faced by a large group of English , French and German teenagers , none of whom had done it beforel. But a mixture of charm and clear exposition meant he had them in the palm of his hand almost straight away , They loved it!

  11. booked Triple Scotch Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Absolutely outstanding. We booked Olly and the team for our wedding last month. They were really flexible and were able to accommodate all of our requests. All the guests could easily take part, and combined with the DJ at the end, it was easily the most commented on part of the celebrations by our guests. Thanks again!

  16. booked Wraggle Taggle for a private event

    Verified

    We can't say enough good things about Wraggle Taggle! They played an anniversary party ceilidh for us, and the music was fantastic. The caller was very good with our group of range of skills and ages, and the kids had a terrific time. They were very flexible on the day (it was warm and people needed a break for cooling off!) and the communication in the lead-up was great. Strongly recommend for any occasion!

  20. booked Bon:Stovi Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Bon Stovi were an amazing ceilidh band! Katherine was so helpful and communicative in the run-up to the event, clarifying timings and offering gender-neutral calling, which definitely made our LGBT guests feel welcome, and went the extra mile to help us book a PA for our post-ceilidh disco. And the ceilidh itself was a huge hit with our wedding guests, multiple people remarked on the quality of the band and everyone had a fantastic time. You should definitely book Bon Stovi for your event!
