Everyone is raving over your music playing (especially me!). Big thanks as well to your fantastic caller Margaret (and hubby). We all had a blast! Several of the children want you for their next birthdays and I certainly will be hiring you again given the chance. Thank you for helping to make it a truly blessed evening Christine Nixon 1st February 2019"

"Just wanted to pass on our sincere thanks for performing at our wedding ceremony yesterday. The music was an absolute delight to listen to and made sure the most important part of our wedding day was memorable. Once again, many, many thanks for a service we would wholeheartedly recommend. "

"A big thank you to you and your fellow musicians in the It's No' Reel Scottish Ceilidh Band for making our retirement ceilidh a really memorable night. We were so pleased that we chose you, thanks really to your excellent website. You were thoroughly professional in your approach and from our first e-mail communications we got a sense of reassurance - even although we had never heard you play live. We were also pleased that we chose to have a second fiddle - that gave such a wonderful sound. A friend & I were putting finishing touches to things in the foyer while you were tuning up. You then started to play, we looked at each other, both gave a spontaneous 'thumbs up' and big smiles - we knew then that it was going to be a great night! We know from our friends and family that they all did have a great night and you were the most talked about part of the whole evening. I just wish we could do it all again so we could get more time to sit and listen to your music - it all went by in a bit of a blur for Greg & I. Apart from comments on your professionalism, the quality of your playing and the fact that you got the sound level just right - many people told us how much they enjoyed listening to what you played between the dance tunes. We did not need the disco playlist after all! I just hope that we are able to hear you play live again! Thanks once more to you all, you made our special night even more special. We would recommend you to anyone looking for a band for a special event - we could not have asked for more. Thank goodness you were free on the 27th!!"

"Thank you so much to the Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio, they were excellent from start to finish! They were easy to book and the communication was clear and fast. Everyone loved the band on the day and they made a special effort to organise a first dance for our families. We’re so glad we booked them! "

"Everyone thought Jock Rock were excellent in every respect. Many of our guests asked who they were and where we had found them. The individual band members were very friendly and kind. "

"As 1st time attendees, we had a super fun time! The caller gave clear instructions and several of the club members (gentlemen in kilts) provided hands on guidance. Music was great!!! Thanks for a memorable evening. "

"Patrick is a true gentleman and anyone would be lucky to have him as their piper !!!!! We were impressed that Patrick offered to learn any song of our choice for my sisters wedding in a short amount of time. He learned my parents wedding song from 35 Years ago... Elvis I Cant Help Falling In Love With You . Thank you Patrick, my sisters and brother in laws wedding would not have been the same without Patrick !"

"We had seen the Band before at a School fund raising Barn Dance in Newton Ferrers. They were superb then and they were again at our Twinning Barn Dance. There are plenty of good Bands around for Barn Dances but this Band brings a few extras. Not only are they first class instrumentalists but they have great callers. They even speak French! We have no hesitation in rating them 10/10. "

"We are getting compliments from all our guests about the wedding as a whole, which we thought was the best ever. That view has kindly also been expressed but many of our guests and they have also particularly mentioned us. We had a few people from the music business within our guest groups and they were also genuinely impressed with your performance. If you want to use any of this in your testimonials, then please feel free to do so. We wouldn’t have wished for a better band… absolutely spot on. Very many thanks!"

"Hi Derek, Scott and the rest of the PCB, I just wanted to say a massive thank you (again) for your wonderful performance last Saturday. The ceilidh/disco combination suited everybody, and we were delighted that you were able to persuade so many people to join in. The instruction you provided was just right, gently mocking our general ineptitude and praising effusively when we got something right! We would definitely be happy to ask you to perform at our next daughter’s wedding (but I’m hoping this will be a few years in the future …). Melanie and I wish you all lots of success with your band in the future. You are all talented and dedicated musicians who clearly love what you do. Many congratulations ! Best Wishes, Nigel Duthie"
