"I hired this band last year for my wedding and they blew everyone away. All the music was everything we asked for and they sounded amazing all night. All songs are 'dancey' with no boring fillers. They even performed our first dance request, I recommend you book this band now."

"I'm pleased to recommend this band to you. Our students were reluctant to let them leave the stage and they were re-booked immediately. They provide superb entertainment and the music is excellent!"

"Kindred Spirit Duo are very entertaining and always guarantee to lift your spirits with their lively and unique style of folk/rock music. Elaine's guitar playing is excellent and she has a beautifully melodic voice. Martin's violin playing is exhilarating & energizing. Together they play some great cover versions and originals. They are guaranteed to get you up on your feet dancing and singing along to their tunes! "

"Dear Fiddlestix You were all BRILLIANT Saturday night! Thank you SO much, everyone really enjoyed your music and the dancing. Your caller must have had such a sore throat the next day (!), and I adored your little lady on that MASSIVE double bass! Thank you SO much for making my party such a success. You were fantastic, and I hope we can do something similar again soon. Maybe my husband's 60th in two years' time. Thank you SO much!!! Lots of love, Victoria xxxx "

"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! "

"My heart is full of joy this morning. Last night whilst I trying to persuade my daughter to come to the ceilidh with me, She was being all 15. "I'm not dancing", "I might do ONE but only if M*&a (also 15) does it too and I'm NOT touching some random person". They both absolutely LOVED it, one dance in and they were off doing every dance and holding hands with everyone, doing a promenade with anyone that was next to them. It's really hard to find something to do with a 15 year old where they actually want to hang out with you other than a theme park, but the power of ceildh dancing seems to overcome all obstacles..."

"I finally went along to see G Celtic Folk Rock Band when they played at the Old Printworks in Wakefield, close to where I live. I've known Chris for over thirty years. Knew he played fiddle in several different bands over the years and decided it was high time I made the effort! I wasn't disappointed. I was expecting straight Irish folk music but they have a blend of rock, folk, Irish, Yorkshire ballads. Great music, very tight sound with a nod and a wink to traditional Irish and not so traditional ballads. Great musicians who play well together. I intended staying for a couple of pints but stayed the entire evening. Great show boys! See you next time!"

"These guys are absolutely fantastic! They had the dance floor filled and all of our guests loved them. The whole booking and pre event process was professional, smooth, well run but with a lovely personal feel. I honestly couldn’t be happier or more grateful to them and would use them again in a heartbeat."
