"You are extremely talented and your interpretation of Herb Alpert’s “This Guy/Girl’s in Love with you” was to absolute perfection. The guests at our table, both Irish and English friends remembered it and quietly sang along with you. As too the Irish music. You did fabulously well to include in your repertoire 1970’s Minnie Riperton’s “Loving You” Stella appreciated all of your choices including your version of “Bridge over troubled Water” Friends Barry and Sandra appreciated everything including “All along the Watch Tower”. Once again thank you. Our guests attending remarked you had chosen the absolutely right mood for the occasion Thank you xx"

"There was so much positive resonance in the air from the enjoyment you, Steve and Gordon created with your music and leadership. Many people commented on the numerous smiley faces and the delight at being with others, taking exercise. “Their best party in two years”! Thank you, all, for sharing your musical flair and enabling a fun evening. We are well aware there would be nothing without your skills. Yes, there was some rust amongst the brain cells but it was also noticeable that very few dances were sat out!"

"It was great to see you and the band at Radley last week, and can I just say once again how much I enjoyed your music that evening. I've danced to your band a number of times but never have I heard such great tunes"

"Thank you on behalf of the Parish Council for providing such a wonderful display of musicianship and fantastic choice of dances for our Late Summer Shindig. I was slightly nervous as we hadn’t done anything like this before but from the moment I heard the first strains of the fiddle I knew it would be fine. Who would be able to resist getting up to dance? Thank you too for sage advice as to the format and for being very much a part of the proceedings – it helped to know we were in good hands. The feedback was very encouraging and even those who were resolutely shy about dancing succumbed in the end. All down to the magic of the music. Thank you again!"

"We booked It's No' Reel to play at our wedding by Loch Lomond and couldn't have been happier with our choice of ceilidh band. Tom was very responsive when we first got in touch and gave us helpful advice on the band arrangement and set-up best suited to our venue (where they had played before), how to handle any queries on the day, ways of making the dreaded "first dance" experience as painless as possible etc. All of the admin side was very straightforward and transparent - knowing we could count on our band to show up certainly reduced our stress levels! Needless to say, everything went very smoothly on our wedding day and the band was absolutely brilliant. Most of our wedding guests were non-Scots, so having a caller was particularly useful, and the Game of Thrones theme went down a treat. I'd thoroughly recommend It's No' Reel to anyone else planning a Scottish wedding (or just a ceilidh for the sake of it!) and hope I'll have the chance to hear them play again."

"You guys were fantastic. I think every single person I spoke to last night commented on how great you guys were. I think the proof was in the completely full dance floor the entire evening..! "

"Edinburgh Ceilidh Trio have played for us at two fundraising ceilidhs and we hope they will again. They're fantastic musicians and their expert calling made sure everyone knew exactly what they were doing. We've got absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for a brilliant, fun evening!"

"Many thanks for playing at our party and especially for arriving so early to set up before they closed the roads for the carnival, (I hadn't planned for that!) Your friendly, engaging and professional manner made the arrangements easy. We all loved the music, and the great playlist, and you pitched just right, a small venue but people could still have a chat. Please pass my thanks to Bella, you both helped make for a very memorable and happy evening "

"Kip and his crew were excellent from the word go. We incorporated our first dance into the ceilidh and added bridal party and parents. This was excellent, Kip talked us through it as a group and away we went. Our special moment was great fun for us and all of our guests. They did a great job of involving everybody old and young and all our guests said they had a great time. It was good fun and a great laugh. We would highly recommend them to anybody. "
