"What a fabulous party we had with everyone entering into the spirit of the ceilidh! The music was great and the caller was exceptionally patient with the disproportionate number of young men at the party. It was a really mixed crowd – plenty of teens and twenties, through to those in their eighties. The dance floor was full throughout the evening and everyone, both young and old joined in, including the determined non dancers. Several people commented on what a lovely time they’d had. I’m very happy to recommend the band."

"Just a note to thank you and all the band for the outstanding evening on Saturday and all the great dancing music you so brilliantly played. You were absolutely superb and everyone said so the following day. Having a good band with nice people absolutely makes an evening - and you certainly did. I hope I managed to thank everyone individually before you left, but please pass on my sincere thanks. Thanks to your significant input, it is a night to remember. All the very best and good luck with all your future gigs. Thank you again. "

"Leos strings were fantastic! They played beautiful music as the bride arrived at the wedding and throughout our signing of the register. They really helped to add to the atmosphere of our wedding day and many guests have commented about how fantastic they were during the drinks reception. They played a really good mixture of classical and modern pieces excellently and I'd highly recommend them! "

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Judy and Jenny’s 80th Birthday Party – February 2026 We found Black Velvet friendly, professional and very talented musicians. Communication ahead of time was prompt and helpful, and on the day they arrived on time and set up discreetly. The music was enjoyed by everyone, a room full of smiles and laughter. Just what we wanted. Thank you for making our 80th birthday celebration so memorable. Would heartily recommend."

"The band was great and they tailored the music to suit our group and encouraged people to join in. Lovely manner and professional. Very experienced caller and musicians. Enthusiastic comments and praise from all our guests. Several potential enquiries regarding bookings will hopefully follow. We couldn't have wished for a better way to celebrate our special anniversary. Every thanks to the Black Velvet Ceilidh Band. "

"10/10 just doesn't do this band justice. Saw these at a family wedding a few years ago, hired them for a milestone birthday party and they didn't disappoint. Everything from booking, song selection, call before the day to confirm arrangements to the day itself was so easy. All of our guests commented on how good the band was, so good one of the guests have already booked for their wedding. I'm not sure I can say more other than fantastic and I hope to see them again soon, if you need a great band then look no further "
