Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"We just wanted to say thank you to yourself and the band for being part of our big day. You were absolutely superb from start to finish and as you could probably tell from all the dancing, our guests absolutely loved all your music too! You got people up there dancing who I've never seen on a dance floor before. We've had nothing but compliments about what a great idea it was to have you perform at the wedding. Thank you again, we will never forget it! Kind Regards Rob & Jade Clarke "

"I first saw Shamrock Experience at a local beer festival and loved the energy and the music. Have since been to see them play local pubs when I can, never a disappointment and always gets everyone up and dancing. Highly recommend."

"From the very first note, Murphy's Lore Ceilidh had us all tapping our toes, clapping our hands, and moving our legs with joy – the music filled the barn and the atmosphere was electric. Thank you to the fantastic musicians who gave us not just songs, but memories to treasure. "

"Hi Davie, A massive thank you to The Shooglers for playing at our wedding. We were impressed with how you managed to herd 100 clueless folk around the dancefloor and we've definitely converted some to loving a good ceilidh. We're happy to send testimonials if needed. Such an amazing night deserves praise!"

"Just a quick line to extend our thanks to you, the caller and your band colleagues for a fantastic night on Saturday - everyone had a great time, and we are most grateful for the use of your PA for music in between dances, that really made a difference and we thank you for staying so late for this. Kindest regards David and Alex"

"We wish to thank you all for such a wonderful evening on Saturday. Several people have asked us for your details. We have been asked if we'll have another barn dance in 10 years time. However, one dear work colleague suggested we hold another more quickly for my retirement... and it was suggested in two weeks time...!!!! We had so many phone calls the next day saying how much people enjoyed themselves."

"Absolutely brilliant, praised by one and all. The Caller was persistant and managed to get even the most reluctant up to dance. All enjoyed the night thanks the DGB Ceilidh Band."

"From the moment I stepped into the barn and heard Blue Jewel playing I knew we'd made the best decision. Their music made us and all of our guests smile from start to finish. They got lots of people up dancing and the atmosphere was great. Steve was so reliable through the planning stages, replying to all emails within a few hours. We can't recommend these guys enough!!! THANK YOU so much Blue Jewel."

"Black Velvet Band Hoedown Trio / 7oaks TriClub Hoedown Barn Dance / November 2024 The Black Velvet Hoedown Trio were superb on Saturday 16th November for our annual 7Oaks TriClub dinner dance. We had 50 members turn up at the Chipstead Sailing Club Clubhouse, and I can tell you that as soon as Mike and his band started playing the first set, everyone got up to dance! There were high levels of energy in the room and the Hoedown Trio rose to the occasion spectacularly, matching our enthusiasm and giving us little anecdotes on the history of the dance with instructions as we cooled down and grabbed a different partner. The band were duly fed and watered with a delicious Greek buffet, and by special request they played a Greek dance to thank the chefs. I think Black Velvet were stunned with the energy levels and full dance floor - and there was no slacking from music or dancing. By the end of the second set we were all perspiring in a good way!!!! There have been calls from many members to make this an annual event, so rest assured we will re-book the chaps for a rematch! A fantastic evening had by all. Many thanks to Mike and the band. "

"The band played at my daughter’s wedding reception on Saturday and really made the evening go with a swing. All the communication in the run up to the event was good – what music we were looking for, arrangements about set up, timings, etc. Musically, they are an excellent band."

"Such a special event" Good morning Mick, Just a quick note of appreciation to you and the band for helping us make last night such a special event (15th September 2023* Friday (8 - 11pm tbc) The London Irish Centre, 50-52 Camden Square, London, NW1 9XB). A ceilidh is a great way to bring the generations together, and, as you could see from the number on the dance floor, everyone had a fantastic evening. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Alex Kenny 16th September 2023"

"Fantastic band, great musicians, great calling, great variety and energy. Four people on the dance floor early and got our wedding party to go off with a bang! Had the four piece band. Good value also."

"On behalf of SELSA Council, this is to thank you and Jean (Harp)sincerely for helping to make our Centenary Burns event so special on Saturday night. The evening went past so quickly and I didn’t get a chance to thank you properly. We’ve had tremendous feedback and some very nice compliments about your performance. The 2 sets went down very well."
