"The band were fantastic. They were professional, discreet and adaptable to everything that we asked of them. One of my favourite parts of the day was our first dance which they sang beautifully! We had so many compliments from guests about the band and about the song choices that they made, they were able to see what kind of music was popular and continued to get people up and dancing! They also played a fabulous acoustic set outside for us at our drinks reception which went perfectly with the relaxed feel of the afternoon. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and can't thank them enough for contributing to making our day so perfect."

"The band set up according to the plan that had been agreed and once the music got underway, the dance floor was packed for the whole night. Some of our guests had never been to this type of evening before and all we had back was extremely positive comments about the band and of the whole evening, which was to celebrate our daughter’s 30th Birthday. The band was an integral part of the night and made the night go with a swing. Well worth the 5*****"

"This band is a class act. Joanne has an unique voice that if heard once, you will instantly recognise. She has a great range and sometimes sings in an operatic tone too. Her husband James is a great guitarist and singer too. They compliment each other and are fun to watch. You will not be disappointed."

"It’s No' Reel Celidh Band played at our wedding ceilidh in September 2014. Our party was relatively small, consisting of about sixty guests from different parts of the UK and abroad. Far from everyone was familiar with ceilidhs, but went away with a wonderful and unique experience, largely thanks to the professionalism, beautiful musicianship, and kindness of the band. From the very first contact, months before or wedding, to the final packing-up after the ceilidh, It’s No' Reel kept surprising us with their willingness to help. We were aware that some of our requests (we wanted to use some of the time on the night for a performance with our drumming group, and we each liaised with them when planning surprises for each other) were somewhat unusual. Not only did they provide a lovely ceilidh, patiently encouraging people to take part, and with a good ear for the mood of the party, but they were more accommodating of our own ideas and visions than we could have hoped for."

"Such a special event" Good morning Mick, Just a quick note of appreciation to you and the band for helping us make last night such a special event (15th September 2023* Friday (8 - 11pm tbc) The London Irish Centre, 50-52 Camden Square, London, NW1 9XB). A ceilidh is a great way to bring the generations together, and, as you could see from the number on the dance floor, everyone had a fantastic evening. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Alex Kenny 16th September 2023"

"We booked Funk With Us for our 30th wedding anniversary and the band completely exceeded our expectations. We were hoping to find a band that would play our favourite hits from the time we first met and the band made an effort to include those songs in their set. Our guests especially loved how engaging both singers and the musicians were, allowing guests to sing along with them! We are very happy we booked Funk With Us and will continue recommending them to our friends. Best of luck with everything, Keith & Rita"
