"We’d like to extend a huge thank you to It’s No’ Reel who performed at our wedding and helped make the evening party really amazing. The band sounded fantastic and were really professional and managed to put on exactly the type of ceilidh we hoped for – one where the guests got to have a wee break in between every couple of songs while they kept the evening going until we had a chance to recover! We had lots of great feedback from our guests about how amazing the band were and how well they managed to explain each of the ceilidh dances for those that had never done it before. This was really excellent as a big worry of ours before the wedding was that some of our guests who had never ceilidh danced before might not take part for fear of not knowing what to do but we’ve since seen the photos and managed to confirm that pretty much every single guest made it onto the dance floor! The fact that the dance floor remained pretty packed all evening too is another amazing achievement and a testament to how great a job the band did. We will definitely recommend It’s No’ Reel to anybody in need of a great ceilidh band as they were absolutely superb! Many thanks again for making our special day so awesome!"

"Phoebe and the band were amazing. We searched for quite a while to find a band we really liked and we certainly weren't disappointed with Stargazers. From their manager’s communication before the wedding to their sets on the night I really can't recommend these guys enough. They got the party going and all of our guests commented on how great they were. Amazing set list - they made our night! Thank you so much guys. We are so happy we chose you!"

"I just wanted to put on record my appreciation of Tim Barton’s efforts and musicianship during my 60th Birthday party celebration last Saturday night. Tim provided a really atmospheric soundtrack to the night, from the Beatles to Bowie to Sinatra. Even Billy Bragg got a look in! It was a perfect accompaniment to the party and Tim coped brilliantly, performing well over the general hubbub of many people who hadn’t seen each other for ages. I would happily book Tim again. "

"Ceilidh Spice were great. Thank you very much. We had torrential rain throughout our party but the marquee stayed dry and everyone loved the band and the barn dance."

"We booked Caravan Swing for our charity event in at Gallery House -they were fabulous! The musicians were great and the band entered the spirit of the evening, despite playing outside on a slightly chilly Aberdeenshire evening. Thank you - we hope you will come back!!"

"Hi Fiddlestix, thank you so much for such a fun time at our party on Saturday. The band were amazing and Geoff the caller did an amazing job at keeping us under control! The dance floor was always packed and we’ve had so many compliments about you. This is the first time many of our friends have been to a Ceilidh and they all had a great time. Well done and thankyou for such a fabulous night! Keep up the good work. Your music and enthusiasm is wonderfully infectious! Many thanks again. Helen and Mike."

"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. "

"Last minute musicians were so efficient and the booking process was very easy. Becky Shell was unbelievable! We hired her for my father's 70th birthday garden party and everyone who came is still talking about how wonderful she was. She has the most beautiful voice and she has such a lovely touch on the guitar and violin too. She was also in constant communication, ensuring we got what we wanted and she was really lovely in person. I can't recommend her highly enough!"
