"Well, we went along to the Clutha benefit gig in The Classic Grand, there were such a choice of great bands to choose from on 2 floors, The Mrs & myself were downstairs as it was mostly rock bands and we had a seat, so the bands changed again & again until I heard the next band was a Ceilidh band, quite a few were looking around sort of laughing as if how’s this gonna fit in with the night, so there's now quite a few people sitting down waiting, so on comes as expected the usual accordion,fiddle,drummer & guitarist set up, and then it began, the accordion started then in came the fiddle then this electric rock guitar and ass kicking rock drum beat, and low and behold before you know it everybody's on their feet standing poking their heads up and down to see who the hell was making this amazingly blended sound of rock & Scottish folk, the accordion player’s fingers were impossible to track as they rolled up and down the board, and the fiddle was just about glowing to match, topped off with a great guitar and drums, with bits of Pink Floyd through to Miley Cyrus flung in, hard to believe but true, and all served up for your ears to savour at 100 mph, the whole place became electric, it was amazing to listen to and stunning to watch, I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed this band, We got talking to David (the accordion player) and his family afterwards and found him such a laugh & such a nice family, highlight of the night, so thanks to The Shooglers your time & talent is very well spent and it shows, cheers.

"Just a note to thank you and the band so much for your contribution to the success of Saturday night’s Barn Dance. The music was fantastic, and I felt the calling gave us just the right amount of detail without holding back those who were itching to get on with the dancing. Loads of people said to me just how much they’d enjoyed the music. I do hope they passed their appreciation on to you too. And I hope that you were pleased by the enthusiasm with which people threw themselves into dancing. So, many thanks once again. "

"Such a phenomenal band. Tailored the whole performance to our preferences. Got the whole room up and line dancing 4 times. Honestly made my 40th birthday party the best night that I will never forget. Everyone said how epic it was. Hope to use them again soon. Thank you Lilac and the band for making our night!"

"Perfect!! You had everyone up on the dance floor which was full of smiling faces and you managed to make one little boy very, very happy when he was able to sing Danny Boy with Tony. Thank you so much."

"We just want to say a massive thank you for playing the harp at our Wedding at West Heath last month. Many of our guests have remarked on how fantastic you were. My mum said that your playing was one of the highlights of the ceremony and for me walking into the room to marry my husband and walking out as husband and wife to your beautiful music made my day! Thank you again!"

"We and our guests had a wonderful time dancing, and the music was really brilliant" Hi Mick, Thank you so much to you and the Wraggle Taggle team for playing at our wedding (15th April 2023 Saturday Holy Trinity Claygate Church, Church Road, Claygate, Esher, Surrey, KT10 0JP) . Wraggle Taggle brought so much energy and enjoyment to our wedding! We and our guests had a wonderful time dancing, and the music was really brilliant. We highly recommend them! Special thanks to Mary for giving us a speedy lesson in a couple’s dance, too! We really enjoyed that as our first dance. We thought you might like to see some photos of the band, and of everyone enjoying themselves in the ceilidh! Many thanks, Lucy and Dom 19 May 2023"

"Stuart, thank you for a sterling evening on Saturday - everyone had a great time as was witnessed by the amount of dancing (despite the age of some of the participants.  Thank you very much for supporting us and doing the Address to the Haggis as well as the Selkirk Grace - it is very much appreciated (especially as you have such a passionate delivery of the words).  Thanks go to Jill as well as she is the perfect caller for a group like ours where many are novices and the rest of us forget the steps from one year to the next. I'm sorry I didn't catch the name of your keyboard player, but she is to be commended too as you 3 make an extremely professional team. "

"A huge thanks to the Full Beans for their incredible music on our special day... The weather was perfect, the day was perfect and so was the music. We had loads of comments about how the music set the mood of the afternoon in the garden and we couldn't agree more... Super talented folks and if anyone is looking for a great act.. Look no further! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! "

"You need to hear these guys! We wanted a band that would be able to get both our grandparents and our little nieces and nephews on the dance floor and they did not fail. The band were perfect for our wedding and we wish we could do the whole night again! "
