  2. booked Tuney Loons for a private event

    Verified

    They were exactly what we needed. Just the 3 of them, providing the basic tunes, a bit of calling the dances and then we were off as most of us knew the dances and just needed a wee reminder. They played 2 good sets and everyone was up and dancing. Very good value .

  4. booked Ceilidh With Us for a birthday party

    Verified

    Lilac, Hilary and Remko recently played at a private party I organised for my wife's 50th Birthday and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. They were everything you would want a band to be - helpful and adaptable in terms of agreeing the set list, professional and communicative throughout, incredibly efficient on set-up and ultimately outstanding performers. Not just in terms of playing and singing, but also in terms of stagecraft and working the crowd. We had an amazing knees-up dancing to Irish reels, folk songs and modern Irish hits in rapid rotation. Not only that but the guys hung on for a couple of hours after the performance and chatted with all of the guests and were a tremendous addition to the bonhomie of the evening. Snap them up, they are a rare and delightful band.

  7. booked Norloch Ceilidh & Covers Band for a birthday party

    Norloch was terrific! Great music, good 'calling' of the dances, good communication before the event and they were happy to change their plan to fit in with mine. I would have them again in a heartbeat.

  8. booked Bass Rock Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Mary and the band were fantastic. They were brilliant at sorting out all the arrangements including joint setup with a second band we had on later in the night. They were incredibly flexible including adjusting their timings when our evening ran late. The music was brilliant and got the party off to a flying start. Thanks Bass Rock Ceilidh Band!

  11. booked Lochnagar for an event in April 2018

    Verified

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for an excellent evening!!! Dave, Malcolm and - I'm so sorry, didn't catch the names of the other two musicians - were brilliant on the night. Friendly, professional, engaging, flexible, continuously playing with vigour and enthusiasm - everything you can hope for to make our celebration perfect! Our friends and family are now mad about ceilidhs! The cheekiness of Malcolm on the dance floor, backed by the band, was a big hit as well and made everyone laugh. Some of our guests didn't speak English, some were deaf, but all could follow as the calling was clear and moves were demonstrated well. I liked the personal touch as well, when Malcolm came to me to give some top tips for a dance we've just finished - where I got my hands and turns mixed up :-). The band joined in well with the Happy Birthday singing as well as the jam session when we were given our two cajons pressies! The booking process with Encore was very easy as well. Thank you!

    Franks band made a good night into a great night, I could only afford two members of the band but despite that it was enough and my guests enjoyed them selves and their attempts to dance.

  17. booked Fairgreen Ceilidh Band for an event in August 2017

    Verified

    Chris and his colleagues played an excellent outdoor set at our wedding and encouraged our guests, including many who had never been to a ceilidh to participate. The music was great and the calling was perfect - detailed enough without preventing enjoyment of the dances. We would not hesitate to recommend them for a ceilidh at a wedding.

    The band were excellent. They showed up on time, immediately came to find me, provided good guidance ahead of time about setting up, and then played an excellent set! I can't recommend Bass Rock Ceilidh enough. Our guests (and us!) had a fabulous time.
