"This band is smashing! So lively and interactive. I've seen then hold hundreds of people spellbound with their music and then have them all up and dancing in a lovely way. Well done Shamrock Experience - keep rockin'"

"Patrick piped in as the residents ate haggis, neeps and tatties. The room was very emotional in a good way and they all thoroughly enjoyed it. Wonderful playing."

"We booked Jen to play the violin during our wedding ceremony and reception drinks. Jen was very courteous on the day and flexible with our schedule when things ran behind. Jen had a large set list, which we could pick our favourites from and also allowed us to choose any 3 songs for the ceremony which she learnt and played perfectly. Jen was very professional, friendly and organised throughout the planning process and on the day, we couldn't have asked for more! The atmosphere Jen created for our special day was perfect and our guests loved everything too!"

"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! "

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio / 08/04/2023 / Ceilidh for Eastercon 2023 (Sci Fi enthusiast's convention) We had a fun-filled, joyous ceilidh, thanks to the amazing, talented Black Velvet Band.The band members are great fun. Alan had us laughing so much with his warmth and humour when calling the dances. The booking process was straightforward and professional. When I talked on the phone to Mike in advance, I was assured that these guys knew their stuff. When I requested non-gendered calling, that was no problem. The band are very versatile - they added a little Star Trek and Dr Who music, seamlessly, into the ceilidh tunes, to give us an extra-special thrill! I would have no hesitation in recommending these fabulous musicians. Noelle, from the Glasgow 2024 Worldcon team at Eastercon 2023, Birmingham "

"We had a ceilidh for our wedding last week. Jake, Aidan, Anna and Rob were incredible. Jake in particular made the night and EVERYONE has said this to us, asking where we found him and that his enthusiasm got everyone up and dancing. The band were very flexible in terms of timings on the night as we were a bit delayed for one reason or another but they were great. Truly amazing and we can’t say thank you enough! The venue have echoed how great and how professional the band were, and are looking forward to having them back in the near future for another wedding. They all loved having a ceilidh there too! Cannot fault the whole experience from start to finish and it made the night so perfect. Would love to have a ceilidh every weekend..!"
