"Dear Davie and all the band, just to say the very biggest of thank you for Saturday night - you were just brilliant, everything and more that we could have wanted from our wedding band, and we have had so many comments and compliments from everyone who was there about you - I have a feeling many of them will remember when organising their future events as you guys just take ceilidh to a whole new level. We had an absolute ball reeling our way round, especially for 'Another Brick in the Dashing White Sergeant', and the Cumberland reel was utterly Epic - not one we had in fact danced before but definitely the best of the night!! And had so much fun with the rock side - all the family were up and going for their favourites. Hope you had fun and managed to squeeze in a bacon roll and some cake - and a beer or two!! Thanks again! "

"BM Ceilidh were excellent! They pitched it right for our inexperienced group, getting among us to ensure we were right and keeping steps fairly straight forward. Additionally, they were very good at trying to keep us on track with timings when we stopped for food as well as playing while we talked and recovered between dances"

"Dear Fiddlestix, A huge thank you to the band for providing such an amazing, unforgettable ceilidh for our wedding celebrations at the Telegraph in Putney. We were blown away by the absolutely fabulous music and, to Sarah, a special thank you for your expertise and patience with all our family and friends. Everyone, be they young or old, shy or willing, natural dancers or rhythmically challenged, had an absolute ball and we've had loads of feedback from guests saying it was the highpoint of the evening. It definitely set the tone for an evening of joyful celebration. We are extremely grateful to you all!! Thanks you so, so much! all the best, Vici & Tim x"

"We hired Barn With Us two years ago to play for our party however, with two cancellations thanks to Covid, we have only just had the party. I can say it was truly worth the wait! Without a doubt, every single person loved the performance that the band put on, they were superb! They really made the night and managed to get people to dance on stage that I’ve never even seen dance before! Many people came up to me and said how wonderful the band were and I wouldn’t be surprised if more business comes to the band from guests at the party! Thank you for a truly wonderful night! I cannot recommend Barn With Us enough, everything was expertly organised, including through Covid and we were able to select our favourites to sing along to!"

"Edinburgh Ceilidh Trio have played for us at two fundraising ceilidhs and we hope they will again. They're fantastic musicians and their expert calling made sure everyone knew exactly what they were doing. We've got absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for a brilliant, fun evening!"

"It’s No' Reel Scottish Ceilidh Band was absolutely amazing. My husband is Scottish and I am Venezuelan so we wanted to have a mix of both worlds, half ceilidh and half merengue/salsa. The band was very flexible and happy to alternate with the salsa sessions! They were great and on board with the idea! Organizing and coordinating with the band was very easy and they were great helped when choosing the first dance! We went for the four piece band and it truly was phenomenal, they made everyone feel comfortable and were amazing with the directions for both the Scottish and International (both from America, Venezuela and the States and Europe). Everyone enjoyed themselves and kept saying how amazing the band was months after!! Definitely recommend them!"

"Iron Broo performed at our relatively small (40 guests) wedding at Dalmunzie Castle Hotel in Perthshire. Their two-piece band was perfect for the size of the venue and number of guests. They were easy to contact and arrange things with; everything ran very smoothly and as planned, and all our guests, ceilidh veterans and newbies alike, thoroughly enjoyed all the festivities!"
