"We've seen the guys perform in a small venue at Donnington race track and then recently at the London Palladium. They are a great sounding team and we thoroughly enjoyed their range of songs!"

"Really entertaining guy. Amazing range of songs, covering all ages. Asked us to let us know a few of our favourites prior, he learnt them, then delivered not only vocally but with his guitar, rather than a backing track. Great live singer. You will not be disappointed. "

"We hired the Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio for my 50th birthday and absolutely loved it. Everyone joined in with the dancing and all the dances were explained really well so it was easy to involve everyone – even the children! It was during the immense heatwave that we had in May but this didn’t stop us or the band from having a lot of fun! Thank you so much for an amazing day. We would definitely hire them again."

"The Skippers are amazing! We booked them for our wedding in France this summer and couldn't have been happier with our choice. They sounded exactly like what we wanted and delivered a fantastic performance that kept all of our guests dancing into the early morning. Hire them - you will not regret it! Simply fantastic."

"They were fabulous. They did a fantastic job on our choice for the first dance (Lovesong by the Cure). The songs they performed were spot on. Jane and I especially loved their rendition of Dakota by Stereophonics."

"Wow - what a band, absolutely incredible!! We are huge fans of funk, soul & motown and Flo Collective had everything covered! They absolutely made our wedding party, Flo has an incredible voice and they had people dancing all night! We genuinely couldn't have asked for more and it was without doubt, one of the best bookings we made for our wedding. Flo was also incredibly helpful & efficient throughout the whole booking process which is a real bonus. Thank you so so so much for making our wedding so amazing! (10 / 10)"

"‘Kitty Galactic’ played for us at our fundraising party for CLIC Sargent. They were amazing. From the first enquiry and during the build up, nothing was too much trouble, they came back really quickly when we contacted them and even gave ideas to help us run the night. They were totally supportive of our charity event. On the night they were punctual, efficient in setting up and happy to change their playing sets to go with the changing flow and timing of events. Everyone who came to the party loved the band. There performances were brilliant. They had people joining in and dancing all the way through! Many of the guests asked when they would be playing next. Thanks guys, you helped make our party a success! We managed to raise a huge amount of money! "

"We booked Nadine for a joint birthday event, and she was absolutely amazing. Despite some awful weather on the day, she handled everything effortlessly and with such professionalism. Her performances were completely aligned to the vibe of the party – so many of our guests commented on how talented she is and how much they loved the music. Nadine played a huge part in making the day truly special for my daughter and wife, and we could not be more grateful. Highly recommended!"

"As a wedding venue we get to listen to a huge range of bands with prices varying from £500-£5,000. Sadly price has nothing to do -or so it seems- with professionalism, personality and ability! Jolly Polly and the Pirates is very much at the bottom end of this price spectrum, but very, very much at the top of the performance ratings! To sum them up? They are musicians with really nice personalities who have great technical ability and understanding of sound, mixing and the audience. On bass guitar and vocals is Polly, who is probably one of the most energetic singers we have come across, with great variations, presence and depth. On lead guitar (and keys) Jon has great technical skills and enthusiasm for his role in the band, and on drums (and occasionally keys at the same time!!) a drummer who actually loves his drums - at last someone who realises drums are an instrument, not an object to take out your aggression on, perhaps that is down to his experience and talent. Individually they are great - as a band they are awesome! - Certainly at the top of our list and always hoped for! Alpheton Hall Barns - Historic Suffolk Wedding Venue "

"I just wanted to get in touch regarding the above booking for our wedding to thank you and your team very much indeed for such a fantastic job providing the ceilidh music. The music itself was absolutely first rate and a number of guests have specifically complemented us on this. You made a very valued contribution to such a special day for us and the atmosphere in the room when the dancing was in full swing was just brilliant. A particularly memorable moment of the whole day for me was the packed dance floor giving it their all to a Strip the Willow with the James Bond theme tune being worked into the music - absolutely superb!

"The Craigi Ceilidh band were excellent. Perfect for my 60th birthday party with all levels of experience and agility catered for. The caller and band made the whole event run smoothly and all the guests commented on how much they enjoyed the evening. Booking the band proved to be a very straightforward exercise with good communication before the event from both the band and Last Minute Musicians. Thank you"
