Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"The Publicans are a band of merry LEGENDS! They bring such a good vibe to every event we've seen them play at so we were stoked when they were available the weekend of our wedding! Musically, they're tighter than a nun's - As people, they're lovelier than a nun. Can't recommend more highly ! "

"If you’re looking for a band who can come onstage to a marquee full of people quietly chatting and drinking and within minutes turn them into full-scale dance Machine with everybody in the place laughing and enjoying themselves, Then I think The Blaggers might be the act for you. Guests at our event (held to raise funds to prevent the destruction of a greenbelt zone) ranged from 20s to 60s, But all were captivated by the humour professionalism and generally good time emanating from rom the band. I am a professional filmmaker and have shot an l lot of promo videos for bands, from Euorope (yep, “the final countdown”) to Paul Young to AC/DC, and The Blaggers have that same charismatic quality that you see in all these massively successful bands. For a 3 piece they also a pack a monster sound, and over the course of three sets in one evening they played not only the Gay Gordons and other traditional stuff but also sex and drugs and rock’n’ roll and people are strange by the doors – not something you hear from average ceilidh band. I would highly recommend them if you’re having any kind of function we want to get the whole crowd involved. Oh and did I mention they’re very nice guys as well?"

"We had a wonderful day and had a brilliant time courtesy of George and The Scottish Ceilidh Band. So many of our guests also said how much they enjoyed it and we were never short of willing participants. Thanks for all your help!"

"Lilac, Remko and all of the band are simply brilliant!! Wholeheartedly recommended! We hired Funk With Us to play at our wedding party. From the very first enquiry Lilac was super friendly, very considerate of what we wanted, flexible and always there to answer our questions and offer good suggestions on the song lists, set-up, etc. And the performance on the night was amazing!! High quality sound and musicianship, but more importantly the whole band did a fantastic job in creating a fun party vibe which got everyone dancing for hours. All of our guests commented for days afterwards how great they were! Thank you Funk With Us, you guys rock!!! ?"

"It was a brilliant night! I had an excellent experience with the Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – they were very responsive and flexible on and before the night. The caller was easy to understand, enthusiastic and the band are very talented musicians. I highly recommend them. "

"Rejigged were hired to play at my 50th birthday party. After reading many positive reviews from their website, I was really looking forward to an entertaining evening of music, dance and laughter with my friends and family. They didn’t disappoint! Chris liaised on behalf of the band and kept regular contact, before the event, ensuring he knew exactly how I wanted the evening to pan out. Booking and payment was simple and advice offered to maximise the success of the evening. We had booked the 5 piece Cailidh band, including the caller. The musicians were highly skilled professionals and their choice of music was perfect for the evening. The caller was entertaining and very patient with us dancers, who joined in enthusiastically, if not skilfully! (Let’s face it, going wrong in the dance is half of the fun!) The band played non-stop for one and a half hours, stopped for half an hour for refreshments and then continued for a further hour. It was wonderful to see the enjoyment on everyone’s faces and the atmosphere was full of fun and laughter. The band really made my special birthday an event to remember: they were excellent! If a Ceilidh band is something you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to book Rejigged; you won’t be disappointed, I promise. K.Barker "

"Just a note to thank you so much for last Saturday. You and the band were superb! You played with such energy which got everyone including the reluctant ones onto the floor. Your caller was lovely and very good humoured and patient with us which made a big difference too. I will send over some snaps including of you addressing the haggis, which I hope you will be able to use. We’ve had brilliant feedback and made over £3,700 towards our fund …... which exceeded our expectations! Very many thanks. "
