Absolutely amazing ceilidh band! Many guests for our wedding were from abroad and therefore, had no experience with Scottish dancing before, but the instructions they gave were seamless and everyone was up and dancing the right steps in no time at all! Thanks so much for the great atmosphere you gave our wedding celebrations!

We had a party planned with over 90 guest expecting a barn dance. Less than three weeks before the event our booked band had to cancel. Bowstring made themselves available and saved the day for us. They were friendly, flexible and great ceilidh musicians.

Flaming Heather we're brilliant at our wedding reception - would recommend to anyone looking for a ceilidh band. They were punctual, catered to any requests we had, called all the dances clearly and sounded great. Thanks so much!

We had an absolutely wonderful time! The Burdock Ceilidh Band did a ceilidh for our wedding and did an absolutely fantastic job of getting everyone up and dancing. Everything was explained really clearly (useful because the majority of the guests had never been to a ceilidh before), and the band were so friendly and accommodating of our needs and great at working with a relatively small space. So many of our guests told us what a wonderful time they'd had, with lots of them telling us the ceilidh was the highlight of the whole day. For us personally it went even better than we'd hoped and we would highly recommend Dan and the band.

The band were AMAZING from the moment we booked to the day of our event. We booked Wraggle Taggle for a ceilidh for our wedding. The band were so responsive and always there is we had any questions. On the night the music was absolutely brilliant and the caller made the steps simple enough for everyone to enjoy, even 3 year old guests were able to join in. Would 100% recommend

Cats Claw stood out in the promo presentations. We started out with high anticipation.... we ended with expectations exceeded! All-round 5 stars for the practical, professional, and logistical stuff. 6+ stars for personality and friendliness:) 10 stars for the reciprocal engagement with the floor and the mood. Iv'e worked at festival stages with ceilidh bands (I booked CC for this wedding) and CC are a group that just kept giving. Be clear about your needs and they will meet them. The feedback and accolades from the wedding couple and guests were great... and also some neighbours who listened in! Job done... thanks Cats Claw

We had a truly amazing evening with wonderful music from caperbility! They were there in plenty of time to set up, with some excellent lights and sound system. The music was beautiful, they were kind and patient with the very inexperienced (and some very young) dancers! Vicky was easy to communicate with before the event and replied quickly to all my questions.

David and the band were absolutely fantastic and we would wholeheartedly recommend them! We booked the band for a civil partnership party and David tailored everything to our wants and needs, and ended up running the Ceilidh outside which was simply magical and something we will never forget! Thank you so much!

What a band! Fantastic ceilidh enjoyed by all our guests. Excellent caller who explained all the dances well and made it fun for everyone. So easy to communicate with and nothing was ever an issue.

The band are clearly very talented and provided some great music. However, at 1.43am on the morning of our wedding, we received a message with a request for chairs for the stage which we couldn't do anything about as it was such late communication. It also meant we had this hanging over us for the day as we weren't sure the band would be able to play and unfortunately when they arrived, they didn't speak to us and we had to make a real effort to get them to engage with us. Prior to our wedding, communication was also poor and blunt, making us very nervous. We had asked if we needed to make song choices as they advertise that they can play an extensive list and we were told we didnt need to do this. However, at the end of the evening, one band member said it was hard to judge what to play for us. This could have easily been solved if they had spoken to us about our music tastes. However, they did play two songs at our request but only remembered this at the end of the evening when most of our wedding party had gone home. Again, a very talented band and the Ceilidh element was great.

AMAZING - they had all our Australian & American friends dancing the night away (none of whom had done a Caleidh before). Iain was fantastic to deal with & the whole group (including the dancers) were a hit with our guests. Would have no hesitation in booking them again.
