"Kip and his crew were excellent from the word go. We incorporated our first dance into the ceilidh and added bridal party and parents. This was excellent, Kip talked us through it as a group and away we went. Our special moment was great fun for us and all of our guests. They did a great job of involving everybody old and young and all our guests said they had a great time. It was good fun and a great laugh. We would highly recommend them to anybody. "

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for the ceilidh on Saturday night. You and Sarah were fantastic and thank you for getting everyone up and dancing. So many people have told us it was the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding! Thank you also for letting us borrow your equipment to play music for the rest of the night."

"Rhillig were booked to play at the Local Heritage Grant event at Torre Abbey last month. They were fantastic and created the perfect ambience for the event. Their quality and style of playing was excellent, as well as their professionalism to work with. We wouldn't hesitate to book Rhillig for future events. Many Thanks."

"We were absolutely delighted. The whole thing was 'just right' and exactly what we were hoping for, including the type of dances and the calling. I have been receiving only positive feedback about it all. In fact our members are saying that it's the best Spring Celebration we've ever had. The non-dancers enjoyed it too as they were happy just listening to the music and watching the rest of us prancing about. Well done and thanks to all of you, Jackie (Chair of Brunswick, West Hove & Portslade U3A) March 2017."

"The band were fantastic! Really professional and the quality was amazing. We had loads of great feedback from the guests too, in fact one of them is interested in booking them for an event this summer! They performed a great version of our first dance song (Everywhere, Fleetwood Mac) - it was very special. Thanks again to you and the band! "

"We booked RJ to play during the day at our wedding in August. He was an utter delight. He was professional and friendly throughout. He checked exactly what we wanted for the day and was very easy to work with. And of course, he is a talented musician - the tone of his voice is even better live. All of our guests commented on his music and a few have even asked for his details for their own events. I’m so glad that he was available to play for our big day!"

"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."

"Ceilidh With Us are BRILLIANT. We originally booked the duo to play an Irish/Country set during our reception drinks at our wedding. After chatting with them we then made them an integral part of our ceremony too. They played my wife down the aisle live, played songs during the ceremony and played us out of the room also. In the run up to the day, communication was perfect, we were able to make requests, change things and working with them was so easy! They really made the ceremony and reception and so many of our guests commented on how much they loved the music and the atmosphere it created. Special mention to the two songs our guests sung along to during our ceremony, it sounded beautiful and a huge thanks to both for learning a slightly obscure song to play my wife down the aisle. It was amazing! We can not recommend Ceilidh With Us enough, they are awesome! Book them! We would love to again."

"Ardverikie Ceilidh Band played for our 40th birthday (70 adults + 20 kids). They were brilliant. The caller gave clear instructions and plenty of encouragement and was undaunted by the chaos of a squad of kids. The fiddle playing and guitar were excellent, and the musicians had the judgement to know when to give the crowd a rest and mix in instrumental sets and songs. In short, they put on a great Ceilidh, are absolute professionals and their version of the song “the Queen of Argyle” made my night."

"Kip and the blue jewel team were absolutely amazing. They got the whole crowd on the dance floor and everyone loved it, especially the ones with no experience of ceilidhs before! They were brilliant to work with and super flexible in the face of a delay in the schedule. Cannot recommend them highly enough! "
