Reviews of The Shooglers

Davie and the gang were absolutely phenomenal!! They performed an hour and a half ceilidh at our wedding, followed by an hour of cover tunes. They provided such a great energy to the day, the dance floor was packed all night long, and the mash up of ceilidh tunes and rock anthems were so great! I had many guests saying what a great band they were, and people were buzzing to hear Muse and Pink Floyd mixed in! Would 100% recommend The Shooglers to perform at any and all events, they were absolutely class! Many thanks again

Davie, I just wanted to contact you to say, ‘thank you VERY much, indeed’ to you and your band members for performing last Friday evening at the annual Grange Dyvours Tennis Club ‘Snow Ball’ and making it the tremendous success that it was.
I have been to many weddings, ceilidhs and parties over the years and danced to many bands and I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that ‘The Shooglers’ stand head and shoulders above the rest.
Who would have thought that weaving in Pink Floyd and Deep Purple tracks in the middle of a Dashing White Sergeant would have worked but it did!
You were an absolute pleasure to deal with, before our event; you all drove a considerable distance to arrive, at exactly the time requested, to set up all your equipment then, after our dinner, you returned to put on the most amazing performance. Some of our (non-Scottish) members had never danced some of the dances before but you made sure to talk everyone through what was expected, as a warm up, before the mayhem began. My face was sore laughing, at the end of some of those dances. Just brilliant.
Our ‘Snow Ball’ on Friday evening was an astounding success and we have you to thank for that.
Absolutely first class.

P.s. Also, thanks for taking our booking for our ball, next Christmas. I wanted to get in quick to secure you as I know how much in demand you are!

Hi Davie and the band. Thank you all so much for an incredible night. Everyone keeps talking about how great the band were. A lot of fragile heads and sore feet today, sign of a good ceilidh!

Hi there, Vicki and I would just like to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding on Friday. It was a brilliant evening and you guys did an absolutely amazing job! Plenty of the guests picked you out for praise as well. Thanks so much and we hope we'll see you at other events in the future!

As 1st time attendees, we had a super fun time! The caller gave clear instructions and several of the club members (gentlemen in kilts) provided hands on guidance. Music was great!!! Thanks for a memorable evening.

The Shooglers are an amazing ceilidh Rock band of very talented musicians. And great people. We had so much fun, it was electrifying dancing to their great music. They made it so much fun, and instructed so well. Thank you, for helping to make our daughter’s and new son-in-law’s wedding a real dream wedding. Xx

Dear Davie, I hope this email finds you well! On behalf of the EUHKIS committee, I'd like to thank you and The Shooglers so much for playing for us for our Asian Ball, and for your patience throughout the planning process. Everyone had a great time and the band got glowing reviews - we really appreciate your involvement in making our event as great as it was, and we hope you enjoyed the evening as well! Thank you very much again, and we will most certainly be in touch should we need a ceilidh band for future events!

Thank you so much again for last night, everyone had a blast and Simon and I couldn't be happier! You were so good at gauging when to play what, and getting people back on the dance floor over and over again! A lot of the guests had never danced a ceilidh (as it was obvious! ?) and you managed to keep everybody on track, well done!

Hi Davie,I hope you and the guys are doing well. Just wanted to email and say thank you so much for playing at and being the highlight of our gymnastics training weekend. We have heard nothing but amazing feedback from everyone at the ceilidh and will definitely be booking you guys in the future.
Thanks again for making our training weekend such an enjoyable event!

Hi Davie, Thank you so so much for being the best ceilidh band around!!! We were so gutted when you announced it was the last song, as were all our guests!! Could have shoogled all night long. Can't thank you all enough. Many many thanks from the new mr & mrs Taylor :)

Hi Davie. It’s been a while now but just a short note to thank you & the guys for playing a great set at our wedding. If there was one negative, it’s that I never asked you guys to play all night. Anyway, hope you are well & in the unlikely event that I ever get married again, I know which band to go for. Thanks again.

Hello!, You played at our wedding at the Ghillie Dhu on 6th October. Just wanted to thank you so much for the amazing music which created such a buzz and atmosphere that I'll never forget!! You were absolutely fantastic and the talk of the day. All of our guests including the ones who admitted that they "hate a ceilidh", all said you were absolutely amazing and the by far the best ceilidh band they had ever heard. Massive thanks again to you all!!! Xx

I meant to e-mail last week and say you and your band are bloody awesome! That was a total American thing to say, but honestly I am not just saying that you guys are great! My husband loved it too – he loves Pink Floyd so when you were singing The Wall through the ceilidh music it was brilliant. I totally love ceilidhs they’re great fun, and the current music at the end was really good too! I took a few of your cards so will defo be recommending you!!

The Shooglers have played for us twice now and I can't wait to get them booked for next year! They have been a huge hit at both charity ceilidhs which we have organised, people attending telling us how great they thought they were. The band are so easy to work with, they are a friendly bunch and are very talented. Their music is fantastic, it's such a relief knowing that if anything else goes wrong on the night that the music will be first class. They have banter with the guests, and call dances brilliantly. They are definitely going to be the first people I get in touch with when I start organising next year's ceilidh. I'd recommend them to everyone, I've already passed on contact details to several people who loved their sound. Thanks again boys, can't wait to work with you again soon! :) Thanks again for an awesome ceilidh!

For 13 years I have coordinated highly successful ceilidh dances in Bishopbriggs High School and now the new Bishopbriggs Academy. These Christmas dances are the culmination of 3 weeks of social dance with all year groups and it it a priority of mine that we have live music to create an upbeat atmosphere. I consider it part of my job to ensure these traditional dances are taught in school in a way pupils will enjoy and will perpetuate. This year I secured the services of The Shooglers for our S5/6 dance. The evening was a fantastic success and enjoyed immensely by pupils and staff alike. The band worked a perfect blend of traditional Scottish dance tunes with contemporary music the pupils are familiar with, which heightened their participation in – and positive attitude to – “social dancing”. I have already asked the band to perform at next year’s S5/6 dance in the school. I know it will be a special occasion. I recommend The Shooglers unreservedly to anyone hosting school dances, weddings or any kind of function.

The Shooglers were real stars at our wedding in Lochgoilhead in October. They performed a perfect mix of ceilidh and rock covers, sometimes in the same dance! It really had everyone up on the dance floor for most of the evening. Afterwards everyone wanted to know where we'd got them from including the venue co-ordinator who sees bands every week. Most of all, they have a great sense of humour - they realise it's all about everyone having a great time. Thanks again guys, you were
awesome.

The guys did us proud on Friday. Friendly, Fantastic, First Class, couldn't have asked for better. Everyone has commented on how they would love to hire them again - I will certainly be booking them in the future.

Hired The Shooglers for our wedding, a mixture of an idea and blind faith, as the big day approached our anxiety increased we needn't have worried, they were excellent the dance floor was filled all night everyone had a ball,(and the free dance lessons were excellent too guys), this morning we've had texts and phone calls from loads of people all commenting on what a great night it was brilliant.

Dear Davie and the Band, What with all the goings on since the wedding we have not had a chance to thank you so much for playing at our wedding on 4th June. You really brought the party together and everyone loved the music throughout, Poppy I know did not leave the dance floor for a second. The final Loch Lomond dance was the final dance of all dances and with all the guests joined arm in arm around Poppy and I it felt more like a rugby celebration - a great way for us to finish such a fantastic day and head off, slightly reluctantly, from our wedding. We will certainly recommend you to others and we hope some booking come because of it, we wish you all the best with your band and the future. Best Wishes.

The Shooglers were great fun and had everyone on the dancefloor. We had a lot of comments about how they were much better than a traditional celidh band. They also interacted with the audience and really got the party going.

We booked The Shooglers Ceilidh band and they were FAN-TAST-IC!!! everyone had a wonderful night thanks to The Big Shoogle! Check them out. They're worth it!

Brilliant band and general all round service - many thanks!

Thanks you so much The Shooglers for playing at our wedding in April. I booked you after receiving a recommendation from the bass player of my own band. He was at a function you guys were playing at last year and he raved about you so much I was really glad you were able to play for us. There were guests from Canada, Dublin and New Zealand at our wedding and they were all joining in and everyone had a superb night. I especially enjoyed how you blended in rock and pop tunes with
some of the Ceilidh dances. I will definitely recommend you guys to anyone I can and if I organize another bash in the future I'll be looking The Shoogle up! Thanks so much on behalf of my new wife Wendy and myself.

Dear The Shooglers, Thank you so much for playing at our wedding on 10th March. It was great fun and everyone was up dancing - you really got the party started!! Thank you as well for letting David play along with you - everyone loved it!! Many many thanks for the great job that you guys did. Many thanks!

Hi Davie, Just a wee note to say a huge thank you for Saturday night! The band was fab and everyone had a blast!

The Shooglers were excellent! Folk were up dancing all night, and lots of guests commented on how amazing the band were and how much they enjoyed themselves.

Heard 'The Shooglers' play at a fantastic wedding I was photographing, well I was so desperate to join in the dancing - truly fantastic music ;-) I love the one you did with the mix of Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall - was amazing, tapping my foot and itching to dance - best music at a wedding I’ve ever heard !!!!

Just wanted to say a HUGE thanks to you guys for playing at our wedding in August – we are just back from honeymoon and everyone is still talking about the band!!! We and all our guests had a fantastic night!! My husband Darren and I would like to send you all a big thank you for your performance at our wedding. Your music was fantastic and everyone commented on how brilliant you played and how professional you were. You were as good, if not better than promised. Davie kept the music flowing and that meant the dance floor was busy! You helped make our wedding day very memorable and our wedding video shows that everyone was enjoying your performance very much indeed!! We won't hesitate to recommend you to all our friends. All the best and thanks again!!

It’s been a while now but just a short note to thank you & the guys for playing a great set at our wedding.If there was one negative, it’s that I never asked you guys to play all night. Anyway, hope you are well & in the unlikely event that I ever get married again, I know which band to go for.

Sophie and I just wanted to thank you guys so much for keeping everyone entertained during our wedding day back in August, you managed to do exactly what we had wanted and did with such high spirits. Thanks also for being so accommodating to all my little surprises like learning the music so that Samantha could sing the first song, and sorry for not having time to sing Kiss From A Rose. I'm sure you would have nailed that too though. Wishing The Shooglers all the best for the future, I'll always happily recommend you to friends.

The Shooglers were one of the best Ceilidh Bands I have had the pleasure of attending. They were amazing, the performance on the night was great, they were able to gauge the crowd and manage to keep all involved. The communication and assistance with regard to the first dance was excellent. Honesty was great with regard to what they could and couldn't play as a first dance. Honestly one of the best bands. Would recommend them to anyone. Did themselves proud as it is a tough thing to do to trust a band with your wedding, but they were amazing.

Thank you very much for the recommending The Shooglers Band for the Warrant Officers and Senior Rates Mess Christmas Ball. The evening was a great success and I received several comments on how good the band was, and their ability to get people onto the dance floor and then of course keeping them there. I will certainly recommend them to others and also look to using them for future functions in the Mess. Once again many thanks.

Thanks soo much to The Shooglers! Everyone has been singing your praises since Saturday night! Can’t wait to dance to you guys again- although, it may take a while for my feet to recover! Thanks again xxx. You were ACE!! Have a great day!

You guys were BRILLIANT on Saturday at my brother’s wedding @ Three Sisters Bake. We all had so much fun and your tunes were brilliant! ♥ thank you! Xxx

The Shooglers played at our wedding in May and they were great! They were brilliant at calling the ceilidh dances and Davie (the caller) certainly has the gift of the gab! He encouraged everyone to get up and dance and had people laughing in the process with lines like, 'the next dance is a prize dance... Prise yourselves off your seats and get up to dance! All our guests commented on how good the band was and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them - a great find!

What an amazing band! I’ve heard bands which are great at the Scottish ceilidh stuff but not very good at any other styles. I’ve heard bands which are great at pop/rock/country/indie covers but couldn’t play a ceilidh dance to save their lives. You guys are amazing! You can play all the Scottish ceilidh stuff AND make it rocky AND play all these other styles from pop to rock to country to whatever! Amazing!

These guys did all the music at Douglas and Helen’s wedding on Saturday - any band who can convincingly slip a Pink Floyd cover into a round of the dashing white sergeant definitely get my vote - please check them out folks!

Thanks for playing guys! Everyone very much enjoyed the tunes! Got a few strip the willow bruises to show for it... sign of a good wedding!!

Thanks guys, you were absolutely brilliant last night, everyone was commenting on how good you were. Cheers guys!

You guys are amazing! I couldn't believe it when during the Dashing White Sergeant that you went straight into a Pink Floyd tune!! It was inspired! I'll be recommending you guys for our society's reunion event next year.

Excellent band, music & patter! Had a great night on the Clydeside!

Saturday's gig at the Classic Grand was superb. Well done The Shooglers.

Seen you guys tonight at The Clutha benefit x You were amazing guys x Had us all on our feet shooglin x

Such a unique band! Incredible set last night at The Classic Grand, had the dance floor jumping!

A fantastic, high-energy set from The Shooglers last night at The Clutha Vaults benefit. Punk Ceilidh on acid! Genius. Sheer genius. Many thanks guys!

Hi Davie, Just a quick note to say thank you very much for playing at our wedding last month. We absolutely loved the music and the dancing, in particular
the Cumberland Square 8, as did all our guests! It was great to you as part of the day and we will definitely recommend you wholeheartedly to
others. We look forward to seeing The Shooglers at an event sometime soon!!!

To The Shooglers, You guys were absolutely amazing at Patricia and Richard's wedding on Saturday in Edinburgh.

Dear The Shooglers, You guys were amazing at Richard and Trish's wedding at the Glasshouse.

A great performance guys! Thank you. Feedback from the guests was very complimentary.

You played at my sister Tanya's wedding and I just wanted to say we thoroughly enjoyed the music. Unfortunately, we had to leave early, so missed lots of more good toons!!! Thanks again!

A huge thanks to The Shooglers for a fantastic evening at Ross Priory for Kathryn's 50th Birthday Ceilidh. The band were fantastic and got everyone up dancing from the bairns ( The "Duracell Baby" 18-month-old Ava) to the adults (80+ year old gran) in what was a memorable night for our family and friends. The pattern was good, the ceilidh music was great and Pink Floyd's "The Wall" during A Dashing White Sergeant is STILL being talked about. Thanks for a great gig guys and would highly recommend for a booking...why would you choose anyone other than The Rockiest Ceilidh band in the World?

Thank you *so* much for playing at Katrina and Ewan's wedding, judging by all the sweaty faces and shredded feet- you could tell everyone had
an amazing time! People singing your praises round the breakfast table this morning. Fantastic as always!

Brilliant ceilidh band tonight for my friend’s 21st!!! Absolutely brilliant and fulfilled all expectations. Hats off to you guys!!

Big thank to the boys from The Shooglers. Great night at the King Robert for the wedding of Aiden and Kirsteen. Thanks guys!

Thanks guys! Yesterday was truly great! Thank you for making our evening absolutely smashing! Much love!

Davie,Nicky and I are just back from a trip up north and have only now got 'connected' to the outside world again. Just a wee note to thank you and the rest the Shooglers for an amazing ceilidh at our wedding at Lunga. We loved it and everyone else did too, more than a few folk took your cards and are trying to think of an
excuse to have their own ceilidh and book you guys for it! We'll keep an eye on the local ceilidh clubs and if you’re playing in this part of the world again and we'll get ourselves along to it. Thanks again.

Hello. I was at Nicky and Elliot’s wedding in Lunga the other week and I just wanted to say what a fantastic job you did! I have never heard such a great band and I wanted to know if you sold CDs as I would love to buy one but can’t find one on your website.

Hi Davie,Hope you and the guys got home safely last night.Davie, what can I say, you guys are the most amazing team, the whole night was absolutely fantastic, couldn't have asked for anything better. Only problem was I ran out of shoogleness and had to get a breather and realised I was missing more while I was outside, what a bummer! Please be assured that I will be giving out loads of Shoogly recommendations, and I hope very much to hire your services again at
some time in the future! All the very best to you all for the future.

Guys you made our wedding reception so much fun and memorable not only for us but also our guests from home and Germany! Thank you so much for keeping the floor FILLED the entire night!

Hi Davie, We would like to thank you again for playing at our wedding last week - the ceilidh was incredible! We had an amazing time and our guests had an amazing time too. We were impressed with how The Shooglers enthused the many German guests with the spirit of ceilidh dancing, even though none of them had ever seen anything like it before! So many of our guests mentioned to us afterwards how much fun they had at the ceilidh too so many, many thanks! You guys are great!

Hi Davie, We're just back from honeymoon and wanted to thank you for the music - everyone loved it and the Zorba the Greek was just spectacular!
I can’t quite remember if we thanked you at the end of the night (ski shot to blame) but if we didn’t, apologies and we would have no problems recommending you again! Hope there were no china injuries to you or the equipment! Many thanks!

Well, we went along to the Clutha benefit gig in The Classic Grand, there were such a choice of great bands to choose from on 2 floors, The Mrs & myself were downstairs as it was mostly rock bands and we had a seat, so the bands changed again & again until I heard the next band was a Ceilidh band, quite a few were looking around sort of laughing as if how’s this gonna fit in with the night, so there's now quite a few people sitting down waiting, so on comes as expected the usual
accordion,fiddle,drummer & guitarist set up, and then it began, the accordion started then in came the fiddle then this electric rock guitar and ass kicking rock drum beat, and low and behold before you know it everybody's on their feet standing poking their heads up and down to see who the hell was making this amazingly blended sound of rock & Scottish folk, the accordion player’s fingers were impossible to track as they rolled up and down the board, and the fiddle was just about glowing to match, topped off with a great guitar and drums, with bits of Pink Floyd through to Miley Cyrus flung in, hard to believe but true, and all
served up for your ears to savour at 100 mph, the whole place became electric, it was amazing to listen to and stunning to watch, I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed this band, We got talking to David (the accordion player) and his family afterwards and found him such a laugh & such a nice family, highlight of the night, so thanks to The Shooglers your time & talent is very well spent and it shows, cheers.

Dear Davie and all the band, just to say the very biggest of thank you for Saturday night - you were just brilliant, everything and more that we could have wanted from our wedding band, and we have had so many comments and compliments from everyone who was there about you - I have a feeling many of them will remember when organising their future events as you guys just take ceilidh to a whole new level. We had an absolute ball reeling our way round, especially for 'Another Brick in the Dashing White Sergeant', and the Cumberland reel was utterly Epic - not one we had in fact danced before but definitely the best of the night!! And had so much fun with the rock side - all the family were up and going for their favourites. Hope you had fun and managed to squeeze in a bacon roll and some cake - and a beer or two!! Thanks again!

Hi Davie, A massive thank you to The Shooglers for playing at our wedding. We were impressed with how you managed to herd 100 clueless folk around the dancefloor and we've definitely converted some to loving a good ceilidh. We're happy to send testimonials if needed. Such an amazing night deserves praise!

A huge (and delayed) thank you to The Shooglers for making our wedding an absolute hoot! Despite being ceilidh novices, Davie and his fellow Shooglers kept us right! Even had the Chinese side up and dancing! Thanks guys!

Yet another fantastic ceilidh last night with The Shooglers. What a brilliant night ! Thanks a lot guys!

Gentlemen... what a fantastic band. We see bands here every week but you guys were miles better than any we've ever seen. I am not working today so have spoken with the manager on duty to leave a comment for you. Perhaps then some of our other clients will choose you for their functions at Achnagairn House. Hope you made it safely back down the road last night. Hope to see you all soon again.

Thanks for an awesome evening of entertainment at our wedding. Everyone loved it and look forward to hearing you in the future!

Hey guys, Thank you for playing at our wedding on Sunday in The Drumossie. It was a brilliant performance and made the evening really memorable for everyone. Still not sure how you got Another Brick in the Wall into a ceilidh dance but it worked and it was impressive!
Couldn’t have been better.
Thanks so much, Graham and Louise!

Davie, I don’t know where to start by thanking you boys for Friday night. There were over 100 peeps there and I would say nearly everyone has commented on how brilliant you were and how you made the night. Big Andy(the big fat loud boy) thinks you’re even better now compared to the wedding and we thought you were awesome then. Everybody had a great time which is mainly down to you guys. We’ve not stopped talking about it since. Hopefully, our paths will meet to let us get Shoogled once more. Pass our regards to the boys. Hope you get an awesome venue for Hogmanay, you certainly deserve it. Thanks a million, Paula!

Hi guys!
I just wanted to say thank you so much for playing our wedding on the 25th May at Murthly. We have had so many people telling us how brilliant you all were. One particular fan is obsessed with the way you mixed some Muse in with some ceilidh expertly..! We had an absolutely brilliant time and you guys are without a doubt the best ceilidh band we've ever danced with!
Thanks again and all the best!

Hi Davie and the band,
Now that the wedding is over and we are back from our honeymoon?, I just wanted to send you a massive thank you for the awesome night of dancing we had last weekend at our wedding at Lands of Loyal Hotel in Alyth.
You have got to be the best ceilidh band I have ever heard!! The rocky and fast paced sets were just unreal to dance to and all our Irish guests loved learning how to ceilidh dance.
Such an amazing night and we really cannot thank you enough!
I have dropped Chloe at Freak music a wee email to say how fantastic you were and asked if she can put the review up on their website.
Thanks again guys, keep shoogling!!!

Davie,
I just wanted to contact you to say, ‘thank you VERY much, indeed’ to you and your band members for performing last Friday evening at the annual Grange Dyvours Tennis Club ‘Snow Ball’ and making it the tremendous success that it was.
I have been to many weddings, ceilidhs and parties over the years and danced to many bands and I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that ‘The Big Shoogle’ stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Who would have thought that weaving in Pink Floyd and Deep Purple tracks in the middle of a Dashing White Sergeant would have worked but it did!
You were an absolute pleasure to deal with, before our event; you all drove a considerable distance to arrive, at exactly the time requested, to set up all your equipment then, after our dinner, you returned to put on the most amazing performance.

Our ‘Snow Ball’ on Friday evening was an astounding success and we have you to thank for that.
Absolutely first class.
P.s. Also, thanks for taking our booking for our ball, next Christmas. I wanted to get in quick to secure you as I know how much in demand you are!

The Shooglers were incredible for our wedding reception. The Ceilidh calling was fantastic and the mix of Ceilidh folk and rock/pop beats was just amazing. The entire dance floor filled so fast! Not only were the Ceilidh tunes good the band also played some brilliant Beatles covers near the end after my wife and I spoke to them about how much we loved the Beatles. We now have lifetime memories on the dance floor from our wedding. Thank you so much to Davie and the guys from The Shooglers, you are awesome!

Hi there , Vicki and I would just like to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding on Friday. It was a brilliant evening and you guys did an absolutely amazing job! Plenty of the guests picked you out for praise as well. Thanks so much and we hope we'll see you at other events in the future!

As 1st time attendees, we had a super fun time! The caller gave clear instructions and several of the club members (gentlemen in kilts) provided hands-on guidance. Music was great!!! Thanks for a memorable evening.

The Shooglers delivered a fun and lively ceilidh and dealt with some organisational glitches on our side very professionally and without complaint. Our timings had drifted badly and the disco we had booked took all the space we had reserved for The Shooglers. The band was very professional, and flexible and set up at the other end of the marquee and delivered a very professional, fun ceilidh.

The Shooglers are an amazing ceilidh Rock band of very talented musicians. And great people. We had so much fun, it was electrifying dancing to their great music. They made it so much fun, and instructed so well. Thank you, for helping to make our daughter’s and new son in law’s wedding a real dream wedding. Xx

The Shooglers showed up and showed out for our wedding!! Everyone was raving about how fun the ceilidh was and my father in law is still talking about how the band was his favorite part of the day. Thank you to all the members of The Shooglers for an epic ceilidh party and being so patient with a bunch of Americans who couldn’t understand your accents.

Dear Davie, I hope this email finds you well! On behalf of the EUHKIS committee, I'd like to thank you and The Shooglers so much for playing for us for our Asian Ball, and for your patience throughout the planning process. Everyone had a great time and the band got glowing reviews - we really appreciate your involvement in making our event as great as it was, and we hope you enjoyed the evening as well! Thank you very much again, and we will most certainly be in touch should we need a ceilidh band for future events!

Thank you so much again for last night, everyone had a blast and Simon and I couldn't be happier! You were so good at gauging when to play what, and getting people back on the dance floor over and over again! A lot of the guests had never danced a ceilidh (as it was obvious! ?) and you managed to keep everybody on track, well done!

Hi Davie, I hope you and the guys are doing well. Just wanted to email and say thank you so much for playing at and being the highlight of our gymnastics training weekend. We have heard nothing but amazing feedback from everyone at the ceilidh and will definitely be booking you guys in the future. Thanks again for making our training weekend such an enjoyable event!

Hi Davie, Thank you so so much for being the best ceilidh band around!!! We were so gutted when you announced it was the last song, as were all our guests!! Could have shoogled all night long. Can't thank you all enough. Many many thanks from the new mr & mrs Taylor :)

Hi Davie. It’s been a while now but just a short note to thank you & the guys for playing a great set at our wedding. If there was one negative, it’s that I never asked you guys to play all night. Anyway, hope you are well & in the unlikely event that I ever get married again, I know which band to go for.
Thanks again.

awesome.

The guys did us proud on Friday. Friendly, Fantastic, First Class, couldn't have asked for better. Everyone has commented on how they would love to hire them again - I will certainly be booking them in the future.

Hired The Shooglers for our wedding, a mixture of an idea and blind faith, as the big day approached our anxiety increased we needn't have worried, they were excellent the dance floor was filled all night everyone had a ball,(and the free dance lessons were excellent too guys), this morning we've had texts and phone calls from loads of people all commenting on what a great night it was; brilliant.

Brilliant band and general all-around service - many thanks!

Many thanks for your services at the Xmas party on Friday. The band (The Shooglers) were great and I for one was pleased to see that the dance floor filled up quickly - given it was very early on in the day !!! Feedback so far has been very positive.

The Shooglers were outstanding! Everyone was up dancing thanks to the energy and fun that the band created. They even played 3 encores for us at the end since nobody would leave the floor. Awesome!

Thanks you so much The Shooglers for playing at our wedding in April. I booked you after receiving a recommendation from the bass player of my own band. He was at a function you guys were playing at last year and he raved about you so much i was really glad you were able to play for us. There were guests from Canada, Dublin and New Zealand at our wedding and they were all joining in and everyone had a superb night. I especially enjoyed how you blended in rock and pop tunes with
some of the Ceilidh dances. I will definitely recommend you guys to anyone I can and if I organize another bash in the future i'll be looking The Shoogle up! Thanks so much on behalf of my new wife Wendy and myself.

Once again thanks for playing! The band is one of the key aspects of the night and you never fail to deliver. Everyone loved the whole night, was delighted to get people who had never been to a ceilidh up dancing and this morning there were compliments flying around left right and centre with how happy they were with the band. Delighted! Thanks again guys.

Hi Davie, Just a wee note to say a huge thank you for Saturday night! The band was fab and everyone had a blast!

The Shooglers were excellent! Folk were up dancing all night, and lots of guests commented on how good the band were and how much they enjoyed themselves.

Thank you so much for coming and playing at our wedding! We and everyone really enjoyed your music and ceilidh! We thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend and use you again so thank you all so much for making our evening even more memorable!

Heard 'The Shooglers' play at a fantastic wedding I was photographing, well I was so desperate to join in the dancing - truly fantastic music ;-) I love the one you did with the mix of Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall - was amazing! Tapping my foot and itching to dance - best music at a wedding I’ve ever heard!
