"It's No' Reel Scottish Ceilidh Band are an extremely talented trio of musicians, they added fun and laughter to a fabulous day. Tom runs a smooth and professional business that eased the stress of wedding arrangements. They were also a great hit with guests, venue and photographer. Thank you for making our day even more special."

"Second time we have heard Blue jewel - the first at their recent gig in the Stoke Gabriel Village hall just last Saturday they put on a Ceilidh Dance for our wedding reception. Really great on both occasions - super caller for our dance - just right for the many who had never done folk dancing and on both occasions their enthusiasm and light touch really made for a great evening. Would recommend for any occasion "

"The fact that the afternoon was such a tremendous success was entirely due to the four of you. You created a great atmosphere and really got the party going."

"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. "

"Oscar and Dom played for our ceremony and drinks reception at our wedding and were absolutely wonderful! It was easy to arrange everything with them, they were always quick to respond to emails and proactive with logistics. They were happy to take our requests for aisle entrance and exit songs. We had inside and outside areas for our drinks reception and they were happy to move between the two half way through the set, we really appreciated the flexibility of this! They play beautifully and it was so lovely hearing the music play across the gardens. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other people, they really enhanced our day!"

"Dear Francis and Janet – I just wanted to write and thank you both for such a lovely, friendly and ebullient performance on Sunday – it was just as I hoped – your cheerfulness and choice of material was spot on and I had lots of remarks afterwards as to how much everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you so, so much for all that you did to help the occasion along. It was absolutely great. If we have another “do” at Roffey Park I will be sure to try and book you. You were amazing."

"They played at the company Christmas party. Very professional. The music was fantastic, they got the room involved and so many people up dancing. We have had a lot of really positive feedback from our guests, and will definitely look into having the Shamrock Experience back in the future. "

"Best band in Nottingham hands down! Hired them for my mums wedding and they had everyone on the dance floor one moment and then had everyone moved to tears the next (in the best possible way) They played all night for us and we loved every minute, they truly made it a night to remember!"

" 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! "
