"We hired It's No' Reel for our English/Scottish wedding and they had guests of all ages up on the dance floor immediately. We were inundated with well-deserved compliments on our choice of band all night and our wedding was fantastically fun and family friendly thanks to them. The guys are all unbelievably talented musicians and it is testament to their skill that a group of three individuals could keep 100 adults and 20 children entertained for a whole evening. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any event - they made our day! There were a couple of things on the day that completely outshone our expectations and these guys were one of them. What a fun night of dancing!"

"Thank you Jon, Joyce and team. Everything was superb. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - we got the dancing we wanted and those who [strange people] preferred to natter did so. A few littlies were hopefully introduced to the most civilised form of exercise."

"We had a ceilidh for a volunteer celebration. Even before the event Lilac was super helpful with suggestions of what timings would work well and how to encourage people to get involved. The band arrived in good time to set up and we’re really friendly. They were flexible on the night without us needing to intervene and got people dancing again after a break for speeches. The band also included those with less mobility and were great and encouraging everyone to get involved. We had the majority of people dancing throughout the event. I would totally recommend."

"Georgia is a very fine guitarist and has a great voice which is warm and appealing. Georgia is an excellent solo performer who can deliver a great 'unplugged' style performance anywhere around the vessel. She delivers 100% on every performance and interacts brilliantly with her audience both on and off stage. Georgia knows how to read a room well, and has an extensive repertoire of songs to choose from, all of which are popular hits that are favorites amongst our guests. Her charismatic personable demeanor creates a great vibe in the room and really engages the audience. Georgia has an excellent voice with a wide vocal range and quality that suits many different song styles, plus she uses loops very effectively to fill out her sound and give her freedom to interact more with her audience without having to worry about constantly supporting her vocals with the guitar. Thank you !"

"Book this band now!! I booked this band for my 50th and they was fantastic. Kept us dancing all night with a constant flow of music and the set list was spot on. The DJ service was great too and all band members acted professional through out the night."

"I recently booked a duo from the band to play at my mum’s wedding in Bolton. They were brilliant. I would recommend this group to anyone who wishes to make their wedding a special event and really liven up the evening. Don’t bother with a DJ, what a waste of money. There were only 40 people at the evening reception, but Shamus and Danny really livened up the group and got them up singing and dancing. I only wish I had another event up and coming, so I could book them again."

"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. "

"We booked Americana for our anniversary Barn Dance which was attended by around 200 people. They had a caller who helped everyone learn the steps. It was a great evening! We had the opportunity to discuss what was wanted directly with the band prior to the event which was helpful and reassuring. The band subsequently put together a great set with a fabulous selection of songs which were performed brilliantly. The interval music was also well received. We had nothing but positive feedback from our guests, so a successful evening! Very happy with our choice of band for this special event."

"Wow, what a band! We booked the country genre for our Country Hoedown with taught line dancing. It was the most fun I’ve had in years. Outstanding and the best band we have ever seen. Will be using for all events now. Thank you"

"Hi Fiddlestix, Apologies for the belated reply. Firstly - huge thank you to the whole band for the performance the weekend before last. It was an absolute pleasure to have such a talented band playing and a joy to see all the families up and dancing. Well done for enduring the cold and we'll definitely look at getting a bigger tent next year! Please pass on our thanks to all the players. Thank you once again. Best wishes, Stuart"

"Can't recommend Whisky & Ginger enough. They played all our special requests, and had people up dancing all night. Just perfect!"

"We recently had Tim Barton play at our wedding and could not recommend him highly enough. He is friendly, professional, an amazing performer and nothing was too much trouble. All of our guests have complimented us on our choice of artist and we believe he was an integral part of creating a great atmosphere and vibe. During the welcome drinks he had the chilled and relaxed vibe we wanted and later on he had the whole place singing along with him. Tim even played an extra hour; when I offered him some more money he just said he was having a great time and was happy to do it."
