Joanna booked Over the Moon for a charity event
Monday, 4th July 2022
VerifiedThe band were amazing - we had an outside venue and it began to rain - they adapted and got everyone dancing regardless. The caller was hilarious and kept the atmosphere light hearted and kept us all laughing all night long! The dances and instructions were great and easy to understand! It was just brilliant and we had a fantastic time - we will definitely be booking them again for next years event! Thanks so much 👍

VerifiedCragganmore Ceilidh band played at our wedding this June and did a fantastic job despite the very few guests who knew the dances! The music was excellent and everyone had an amazing time.

Amy booked Berking Mad Ceilidh Band for a wedding
Sunday, 3rd July 2022
VerifiedAbsolutely fantastic ceilidh band for my wedding! They got everybody onto the dance floor and we all had a birllaint time. Very clear caller great for those of us with ceilidh experience and not too serious for when we undoubtably got the steps wrong! Perfect for our barn wedding. I would recommend them for any event and hire them again for a ceildh
Callum booked Monkey See Monkey Do for a wedding
Sunday, 3rd July 2022
VerifiedWe booked Monkey See Monkey Do for our wedding a few weeks ago and they were utterly brilliant. Put simply, we would recommend them to absolutely everyone! All of our guests have told us that the ceilidh was the highlight of the day - both those who have been to ceilidhs before and those who had never even heard of a ceilidh. Not only did all enjoy it but many of our our guests had never been to a ceilidh before and the entire band were excellent with the first-timers - the caller had the patience of a saint organising our rabble! The cherry on top of it all was that Monkey See Monkey Do were complete professionals, communicated really well prior to the event, and just quietly turned up and got themselves setup in the background and required no input from us when we were at our busiest on the day. Lovely people and a fantastic ceilidh band - we would recommend them to everyone!
Rebecca booked Forth Ceilidh Band for a wedding
Sunday, 3rd July 2022
VerifiedDavid was fantastic to deal with from the beginning. Communicative, flexible and very helpful and friendly! Forth Ceilidh managed to teach a load of novice Australians at our wedding how to ceilidh and everyone had an absolute ball! Thank you so much!
Adela booked Oh Fiddlesticks! for a wedding
Tuesday, 28th June 2022
VerifiedOh Fiddlesticks were absolutely amazing. We booked them for our wedding relatively last minute after the swing band band we'd previously booked cancelled and (despite the stress when they first cancelled) we are both so glad it worked out that way! A ceilidh was such a lovely way for all our guests to get involved, dance with people they wouldn't otherwise have interacted with and generally lose their inhibitions. And Oh Fiddlesticks are a fantastic fantastic ceilidh band! They got everyone joining in, were patient and good-humoured when our drunker friends and family struggled to learn the steps and were incredible musicians! My partner is Jewish and they threw in some klezmer music and dances as well as the traditional Irish stuff, and led a chain of people out of the dance hall and all through the venue toward the end of their set, which was a really fun touch. They were also lovely people, were very accommodating about a slightly later start time as rain had meant the day had been a bit delayed, and mingled happily with the rest of the party in between their sets. Everyone has been raving about how great they were ever since, we can't recommend them highly enough!

Danny booked Triple Scotch Ceilidh Band for a wedding
Monday, 27th June 2022
VerifiedOlly and the rest of the group were fantastic! Played our wedding ceremony, reception, led the ceilidh (obviously) and DJ-ed. Their playing was beautiful and the ceilidh was fab - well called and played - everyone got stuck in, both those experienced and new to ceilidhs.

Tuesday, 21st June 2022
VerifiedWe had the Forth Ceilidh Band play at our wedding. They did a great job - a nice, friendly group of people, relaxed and flexible when things ran a bit late, took a couple of late requests from us in their stride, and everyone really enjoyed their music including experienced Ceilidh dancers and guests doing it for the first time. We would thoroughly recommend them
