Everybody loved them. Got the majority up and having really memorable fun. The ones unable to dance, due to age and illnesses, found the event very entertaining to watch.

Absolutely brilliant! David did such a wonderful job. We had a complete range for ages - from 4 to 84 - and there was something for everyone. We all had a lot of fun. Huge thank you.

We booked Drop Spindle for our wedding in North East England. The band were terrific with the party atmosphere they created getting everyone involved. It was for sure the highlight of the day! Big thanks to Michael who called the dances and walked us through choices pre the event. Worth every penny 👏

Swing the bridge was great fun. We hired them for our wedding and all the guests had lots of fun, even if it was one of the hottest days of the years! Communication from when we hired them to the actual day was excellent and we knew exactly what to expect. If you want a ceilidh band with good musicianship, entertaining and clear calling and stress free setup on your part, Swing the Bridge is the band to go for!

Amazing band! They played for our wedding, we were a bit scared so many English folk would be scared to dance but they were all up dancing by the end of the night and it was just such a wonderful atmosphere. Caller was great, and they were really funny, happy folks to deal with. DJ set after was fab too, open to song requests so everyone was happy.

They were fab. We had a great time. The ‘dancers’ were of very mixed ability but Flaming Heather got us sorted and whooping with joy.

Dr ReelGood were excellent, great communication and vibes from the band. Read the room and keep the tunes coming at a pace we could all manage. Good time had by all. Highly recommend!

Id highly recommend Ceithir, they were very professional and understanding when we were slightly off schedule. They brought a really fun atmosphere to our wedding and everyone really enjoyed the ceilidh! 😄

The Sound With Us ceilidh band we hired for our wedding was wonderful. We have no negative feedback or concerns. They handled the noise limiter situation really well and I don't think any of our guests noticed anyway! Also the videogame and movie themes in the breaks was such a nice surprise, especially considering we hadn't requested them. They fit the vibe of our wedding perfectly. The band members and caller themselves were also just lovely people. Very pleased overall and highly recommend!!
