  1. booked Triple Scotch Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Absolutely perfect for our wedding ceilidh this weekend. Fitted in with our timings and our mixture of Scottish and English guests (ie half experts, half novices). Called brilliantly, played so well that loads of Scottish guests who’ve grown up on the ceilidh scene said they were the best they’ve ever heard. Couldn’t recommend any more highly!

  4. booked Crannog Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Crannog were great with us! We got behind during our wedding day, so they were late getting into the hall to set up, but they did this quickly and smoothly, and we were soon underway! They were then flexible and accommodating with their schedule for the evening. Crannog were enthusiastic, and the music was great, and they even managed to get everyone up at the end for the last dance! Thank you for a great end to our wedding!

  11. booked The Frank Reid Scottish Dance Band for a birthday party

    Verified

    Frank’s band played at my recent 50th birthday party in a village hall for 60+ guests of all ages - we all had great fun, enjoyed their attempts at teaching us the moves (a huge variance in skill set amongst us!) and would throughly recommend the band. Great value for money, very accommodating in terms of our timings and willing to help and assist with PA and connecting my own playlist whilst the guests arrived. A Reassuring, professional and calming presence. Thanks Frank & team!

  13. booked A2 Barn Dance Band for a wedding

    Verified

    The A2 Barn Dance Band gave us a tremendous evening of fun and dance at our wedding party. Even though we were a small family group, they got everyone to join in throughout the evening, regardless of Ceilidh dancing or not! We all really enjoyed the evening and cannot thank them enough for putting through our dance paces with smiles on our faces. Would highly recommend whether your party group is large or small. Many thanks again!

  14. booked CARACANA for a private event

    Verified

    This group was very professional but also very friendly and helpful. They provided the entertainment exactly as asked and it was enjoyed by all. The music was played at an acceptable level, not too loud or too quiet. The guiding dancers were patient with inexperienced novices and helped us to participate quite well, even the children. We would recommend Caracana as an additional entertainment to a disco.

    Lilac and Remko and the band were absolutely superb and helped make our wedding day so special. They are such lovely people and so adaptable. We are so grateful for your amazing performance and effort getting everyone at our wedding on the dance floor and involved in the ceilidh. It was exactly the blend of music genres and styles we were hoping for and so many of our guests praised you and the band for such a great atmosphere.

  18. booked CopperCeilidh for a wedding

    Verified

    We booked Copper Ceilidh for our small wedding and it was fantastic. Everyone had fun and was enjoying the called dances. Copper Ceilidh are extremely good organised. Jan Clark took all the pressure from us and got in touch with the venue herself to clarify open questions so we didn't have to worry about anything. We can just recommend to book Copper Ceilidh for your next event. We can not thank them enough as all of us had an amazing time.
