"I've had the tremendous good fortune to have been asked to call ceilidh dances with Kellys on numerous occasions. It's never difficult to get people up on the dance floor once Helen kicks off on the accordion, and when Steve's driving rhythm guitar comes in, coupled with Tony's pounding bodhran, the only 'problem' is getting people to sit down and have a breather between dances! And when you get Simon and John bumping it up to a 5-piece with fiddle and banjo (plus various pipes and whistles) well, all I can say is "Hold on to your socks!""

"I have to express my gratitude from me & my wife for helping us to organise the music for our wedding. Bry and his 3 piece band were great and went down so well with the guests. I’d never seen a wedding band welcome requests so easily before. The guys know everything!"

"We wanted to email and once again thank you for playing at our wedding last Sunday at Lochgreen in Troon. You guys were terrific! Our very international group of guests had a great time, for many of them, first time at a wedding in Scotland and certainly first time at a ceilidh. Thank you for expertly guiding them through the dances and making sure people roughly knew what they were meant to be doing! We've had many comments about how good the band was so we wanted to pass that along to you. Thriller and the Bond theme being dropped mid dance and the impromptu Game of Thrones dance were particular highlights. "

"We hired Platinum for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with the service they provided. Easy and thoughtful communication before the big day, punctual arrival etc, but much more importantly - the music was AMAZING! So many of our guests commented on how fantastic the band were and we completely agree! Amazing vocals, band, repertoire and they performed our first dance so beautifully! Plus they are all so lovely and friendly, I would highly recommend!!"

"We booked The Blaggers for our birthday party. They were absolutely fantastic. Lovely lads who were easy to communicate with in making arrangements and then very adaptable once they arrived. They are great musicians and the set list suited our occasion perfectly. Everyone loved it and they really set a brilliant atmosphere for the evening. Couldn't recommend them highly enough."

"It was a fabulous evening! Thank you so much for the wonderful joyful music. Noeleen’s excellent calling skills resulted in lots of people keen to get up and dance! It was such a fun night. Looking forward to doing it again! It was such a great night and we were both touched that you remembered our wedding reception! Thank you to all the band and especially managing us all in such a tight space. We hadn't anticipated so many dancers up on the floor! Look forward to seeing you again sometime"

"We had Iron Broo play as a 3 piece at our wedding and I would highly recommend them. They did a great job keeping our guest energised and calling all the dances so that everyone knew what to do. The band played a mixture of songs which allowed our guests a chance to recover between some of the more energetic dances. A great band that I would definitely use again. Reply 1"

"Hi Mick & band, I hope you had a lovely rest of your weekend! I just wanted to say a huge thank you on behalf of myself, Kealan, and everyone who attended our event! (7th March 2026 Saturday Hammersmith Club Society limited, 11 Rutland Grove, Hammersmith, London, W6 9DH) You truly saved the day by stepping in at the last minute, and we were so impressed by how flexible and professional you were throughout. You guys were absolutely superb. We had a fantastic night dancing to your music and so many of the guests have asked us to pass on their thanks and how much they enjoy it. It made a really fun evening and thank you again. Hopefully, we will see you all again in the future at another ball! Thanks, Annie Macdonald 11th March 2026"
