Mark booked The New Fox Band - Ceilidh Band for a private event
Monday, 27th July 2026
VerifiedThank you so much for playing for our ceilidh on 18th July. We have never organised an event with music before and you made it so easy for us. All communication was punctual and polite and easy to understand. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. I've been to ceilidhs before where the "caller" taught the dance and left people to it, but Paul guided people through the dances with a calm and friendly manner. I think this made more people feel more comfortable with getting involved. The band were great and the sound was wonderful. Thank you so much for your professionalism and talent! I've already recommended you to other people who are now considering holding their own ceilidh - I just hope I get an invite!

Simon booked Drop Spindle Ceilidh Band for a wedding
Friday, 17th July 2026
VerifiedWe booked Drop Spindle Ceilidh Band for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic! They created a wonderful atmosphere, with easy to follow instructions, and brilliant music! Most of our guests were beginners, but they walked us through everything and made it really easy to pick up! We had a mix of ages, including lots of children, and it was accessible and fun for everyone! We also added the extra to use the band's lights for our disco following the ceilidh. We weren't sure how much energy people would have after the ceilidh, but the band were very accommodating and stayed around until we were ready to wrap up. We are so pleased that we booked Drop Spindle Ceilidh Band and would 100% recommend them!

VerifiedVery good - the band were on time, adaptable, personable and brought a sense of fun to the event. The lineup was a bit different to that shown in their online videos, but that didn't detract from the overall experience. Would definitely recommend them.

Maggi booked The Riot Band for a private event
Tuesday, 14th July 2026
VerifiedWe engaged the Riot Band (via Encore which was a very easy process from start to finish) for our Golden Wedding Anniversary party on11July 2026 We were very pleased with the music, just what we wanted for our mainly non- ceildh dancing guests many of whom said they really enjoyed it. The band arrived in good time to set up with some awesome looking professional kit and it was easy to communicate with Bob to make sure everything was in place for the evening. A special thank you to the caller who gently encouraged non dancers to have a go! We have had so many lovely comments about the music that it has made our evening even more special! If anyone wants to hire a really rocking ceilidh band I would wholeheartedly recommend The Riot Band 🥰
