Reviews of F.O.B. Band

What a fabulous night of fun, laughter and dancing (lots of dancing) F.O.B. Band gave us this weekend for a joint 60th birthday party. The music was superb and Ollie's calling had everyone up and dancing all evening. Highly recommended!

Thank you for a fantastic ceilidh last evening. You all helped make it a wonderful wedding for Frith and Daniel. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and it was great to see them all dancing together. We hope you will pass on our heartfelt thanks to the rest of the band and your very bouncy caller.

A huge thank you to the band and Ollie for a brilliant night Saturday. Everyone loved it and had a blast. The feedback from folk has been amazing. Lots of laughter and fun had by all. I haven't danced or laughed so much in ages. A great success and would highly recommend F.O.B. Ceilidh Band for a celebration or event.

I just wanted to thank FF.O.B. Band for last Saturday in Abbotsley. The band were amazing and it was a super evening. Ollie the caller had just the right manner too. We had many tickets sold and lots of participation and fun! Hopefully again next year!

F.O.B. Band were amazing! The music was fantastic and the band members were so lovely. We had the best time! The dances were easy to follow and the caller was so patient with us all. We had a five year old and an 87 year old dancing with us which was fantastic. Highly recommend for an event that will cater for everyone regardless of age or fitness.

Just a note to say thank you for playing at my mother’s 90th Birthday party last Saturday. She had a wonderful time and commented on how good the band was. I think that everyone enjoyed it, and also got to learn some new dances. Certainly I personally had never danced in sets of seven before. Well done!

FOB gave a fantastic performance at our Cambridge college's Burns Night Ceilidh. The band sounded brilliant and the caller [Ollie Simons] was very clear. They were a pleasure to work with, and a joy to dance to; the students had a wonderful time. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Thank you so much once again for a fantastic evening - we had a great time. Will be in touch soon for our annual Freshers ceilidh in October!

A massive thank you to you all. Everyone said how much of a great time they had and all ages were dancing - even my god mother, who was 80 plus! The music selection and dances were spot on.

Thank you so much to you all, we had an amazing time. The ceilidh was great fun, we loved it and had lots of positive comments too. Hopefully we can come to one of your ceilidhs again soon!

Thank you, it was all brilliant. Every single person enjoyed it immensely.

Great band, good communication before the event and a really good caller (Ollie Simons - Ceilidh Caller). Fitted in with the plans for background music as well as dancing. Definitely recommend.

F.O.B, you were amazing! Thank you for a fantastic evening. Great music, great energy and great fun. We thought you would be a great addition to Emily and Josh's wedding day and you certianly were. The music and atmosphere were brilliant!

F.O.B played our wedding on Saturday- they were absolutely incredible. The music was so good to dance and listen to, the band were great and caller made it easy for the dancers. Thank you!!

This amazing band came to help me celebrate a special birthday. Wow, they are amazing, flexible and accommodating. I couldn’t have been more pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to book them again. Fabulous!

Very many thanks to FOB. You were awesome!

At the Reel club ceilidh last Monday, there was a great band, and enthusiastic dancers, but very few of them, which seemed a poor omen. However, I needn't have worried – what a contrast last night! More than double the numbers, a complete sell out! A great start to the year, with lots of freshers having a fantastic time, dancing to your music.

Many thanks from me and the Round.

Thank you so much, we had a fantastic time, so many people came up to us and said how much they loved the band, including a number of people who'd never been to a ceilidh before - we have lots of new converts!

You were fantastic, such energy, everyone really enjoyed it. Worth the extra year's wait!

We had such fun, it was so good to see everyone happy, smiling and engaged with the dancing.

The venue staff were much impressed and had been sending videos to their off-duty colleagues because they were so taken with the proceedings. So much better than a disco ….

As brilliant as ever! The MCR ceilidh is an annual tradition and it would not be the same without FOB as the band. Thank you so much!

We were so impressed with the band. They were patient with us as we struggled to follow instructions. We had around 30 children. They were adaptable to the situation in front of them. They had everyone up and dancing. Really enjoyed them and yes we'd book them again.

Just wanted to thank you once again for a superb ceilidh at Charlotte's wedding reception on New Year's Eve. Everyone enjoyed it immensely, and I lost count of the number of guests who commented how brilliant you were.WeI couldn't have been more impressed with the band, and how much you contributed to making it a truly memorable evening. We will take great delight in recommending you to family and friends for future events.

What can we say but the most enormous THANKYOU for a wonderful evening on the 25th! You made our wedding reception utterly wonderful and so many of our guests have said how much they enjoyed the evening and the music.
My 93 year old grandmother refused to leave until the end and her feet were tapping all evening....she even joined in the last dance and that has to be credit to you.
One table of guests had never been to a ceilidh before and said how much fun it was. You already have a couple of photo share recommendations on Facebook!
I didn't get chance to speak to anyone directly as it was all a bit mental on the night but I really appreciated your professionalism and hard work. I hope you got chance to have some food....I did ask the team to reserve some!
Be assured we will be booking you for our next ceilidh.

Just a short email to say many thanks for the music and dancing on Saturday at Childerley. I hope you could tell we all had a great time - were we any less competent than most people at the dancing?? As far as I know, only one person fell over, and we have to blame too much champagne for that. The whole event went fantastically well, and your part in it was much appreciated.
Should the opportunity arise, we will book your group again, and recommend you if we know of anyone else having a “do” in your area. A lot of fun was had by both dancers and spectators.

F.O.B. Band was brilliant - played great music all night and tailored the dancing to suit the audience. We have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

We thought you were very professional and sensitive to what was going on. Sorry you had to wait so long to set up! We really enjoyed having you. Thanks for your enthusiasm and hard work - it really made our evening special.
