Hi Paul Many thanks for your positive feedback and for everything you and Judith and the team did to organise Sunday. It was a rip-roaring success and I look forward to working with you on more events! Hope you manage to have a well-deserved rest and relaxation this week — and thanks again for everything you've done! See you soon Cheers Rory

"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 & I 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.

"My wife and I recently traveled on a cruise ship from Singapore to several Asian countries, and thrilled the entire trip by the music provided by Adora and their band. As a former USAF jazz guitarist, and musician with several top-40 bands over the years, the musicianship of the band is first rate. Every musician in the band is EXCELLENT and deserve the highest praise. Thank you all for making our cruise one of the best ever! Dave & Princie Kay"

"What a great band. We had them on the quarter deck at Britannia Royal Naval College after a colleague recommended them. We were not disappointed. The lead singer had the worst cold but overcame her illness and delivered big time. Thanks guys. Looking forward to a future date for our summer ball. "

"You may recall a desolate band of misfits in Tim Burton’s 'Nightmare Before Chirstmas' that popped up every now and then with musical interludes of damp and haunting melodies that were, in their own way, quite captivating. Well The Skeleton Crew have a very similar allure; that is intriguing violins and erratic accordions, both utterly besmirched with wonderfully gloomy undertones and lingering vocals."
