"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.

"We had two wonderful ladies playing Irish music and songs at a home 21st birthday party. We had the BEST time thank you, and you guys really made the party. We’ve had such fab compliments from all the youngsters who really enjoyed your tunes - a mixture of trad folk songs and modern - and absolutely loved the couple of Ceilidh dances (even after a few drinks!) which you led so well for us, super fun. Thanks to you both for making it all so special. You really are spot on with your tunes and very talented musicians and singers. I will never understand how you can play three instruments at one time and make it all sound and feel so good. AMAZING and I would recommend for any event, young or old."

"The Shooglers played at my brother’s wedding this weekend and were AMAZING!! Doing the Dashing White Sergeant to a ceilidhfied cover of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in The Wall" was a particular highlight! "

"We booked The Blaggers for our birthday party. They were absolutely fantastic. Lovely lads who were easy to communicate with in making arrangements and then very adaptable once they arrived. They are great musicians and the set list suited our occasion perfectly. Everyone loved it and they really set a brilliant atmosphere for the evening. Couldn't recommend them highly enough."

"Lilac came and sang at my 40th birthday, in a barn in the rainy weather, she was fantastic, great voice and the sound was absolutely immense. Her and Remko were lovey to meet and camped with us to continue the celebrations. Really fantastic!"

"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! "

"Thank you very much for 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. "
