  1. booked Drop Spindle Ceilidh Band for a private event

    Verified

    The Slappy Jessops were everything I’d hoped for and more. Not only were they a fantastic ceilidh band but also they were happy to accommodate my random music taste in between sets and were really lovely easy-going people. They were absolutely the highlight of the evening and got everyone dancing. All the guests thoroughly enjoyed it and the band made sure everyone could access the dances. Can’t recommend them enough! Thanks for a memorable night!!

  5. booked Price of My Pig for a private event

    Verified

    Fantastic band with many guests commenting how good they were. Really excellent mix of both traditional ceilidh dances and others from further afield. They were all called really well with everyone knowing what to do (barring lack of co-ordination on our part!). Excellent banter throughout the night, and kept an eye on people’s energy levels. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting a great night that will have you dancing and smiling non stop!

  9. booked Monkey See Monkey Do for a wedding

    Verified

    From contacting the band to see their availability to the wedding day itself the communication was brilliant. The band were very responsive to emails and when I asked questions on whether they could stay later and us to use their PA system for music they were very accommodating charged us reasonably for this. When there was an issue the day before the wedding with the caller, the band were amazing and found us a replacement. At the wedding they turned up on time, were highly energetic, played an amazing mix of singing and ceilidh dances and helped to get everyone involved. Though many of our guests hadn't heard of a ceilidh band before, they all said how fun it was.

  10. booked Forth Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Forth Ceilidhs we're absolutely fantastic! Right from booking we had great communication with David. He made sure we were both clear on what we wanted, a mix between ceilidh and party music. On the night David and the band were on time and were set up and ready for the time we had arranged, but also weren't put off by the fact that we weren't ready in the slightest! We were having a very laid back wedding and David was great re adjusting the timings etc for us. Everyone had an amazing time and we're up on the dance floor all night. Would definitely book again if we were to do any kind of function. Thanks again for a great night!

  11. booked Aluinn Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    We booked Aluinn ceilidh band for our wedding and they absolutely smashed it. Aly taught a large group of non-ceilidh dancers (around 100) in a fun and relaxed way, creating an incredible atmosphere for our celebrations. Their musicianship was superb and absolutely everybody had a huge amount of fun. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

    Kate and Roddy provided all the music for our wedding day including bagpipes at the start, ceremony music, drinks reception and a ceilidh in the evening. It was all fantastic and in particular they adapted really well to a cramped dance floor with inexperienced dancers. Could not have asked for more!

  20. booked Ceilidh With Us for a wedding

    Verified

    Ceilidh With Us are BRILLIANT. We originally booked the duo to play an Irish/Country set during our reception drinks at our wedding. After chatting with them we then made them an integral part of our ceremony too. They played my wife down the aisle live, played songs during the ceremony and played us out of the room also. In the run up to the day, communication was perfect, we were able to make requests, change things and working with them was so easy! They really made the ceremony and reception and so many of our guests commented on how much they loved the music and the atmosphere it created. Special mention to the two songs our guests sung along to during our ceremony, it sounded beautiful and a huge thanks to both for learning a slightly obscure song to play my wife down the aisle. It was amazing! We can not recommend Ceilidh With Us enough, they are awesome! Book them! We would love to again.
