"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"

"We booked It's No' Reel for our wedding at Balbirnie House in June 2015. We decided on them because of how good they sounded on their YouTube clips (their Game of Thrones theme was a real head turner!), the fact they didn't have a piper or an accordion (which we wanted to avoid) and their price. Tom who deals with the bookings was very professional and keen to tailor the evening to our needs. The minimum is a three piece with the option of adding other pieces as you like. We opted for a second violin as we thought the two violins together sounded awesome! The band offer ceilidh for as much of the night as you want, and after that they are happy to hook up their computer to the PA system and play a DJ set. We liked having the option in case our guests weren't feeling the ceilidh. As it was, we were having such a great time that we ceilidh-ed all night! It was an amazing night, made by the quality playing. Let's also not forget the quality calling so all the guests knew what they were doing! We have had so many compliments about the band's playing since the wedding. Thanks so much to you guys. Just great musicians who put the reel into our reception!"

"Exactly what we wanted for our wedding! Excellent musicians throughout and great, clear direction/calling to help those of us that were complete beginners and those that were from Germany with limited English! Genuinely impressed with the pace they managed to keep until the very end... Both the band as well as the guests! Very professional and provided great communication from the moment we booked. Would not hesitate to book them again! Thank you again Ardverikie!"

"A fantastic performance from a group of really talented musicians, producing a medley of folky, indie, soulful and uplifting tunes. They had the whole party singing, dancing and wanting more! Great people as well, we couldn't recommend them highly enough. "

"We absolutely loved Stargazers. We booked the acoustic duo for the afternoon drinks reception at our wedding and then the rest of the band for the evening. They were fantastic and the dance floor was full all night. We have had lots of positive feedback from our guests with lots of people asking where we found them. Thank you so much for making our first dance and wedding so special. We would definitely recommend Stargazers and book again!"

"The Iron Broo duo provided a perfect afternoon ceilidh for us for my daughter's bat mitzvah. The music was top-notch and they created a festive atmosphere that was delightful. Charlie "called" the dances in a clear, unobtrusive way and a good time was had by all. As importantly, Charlie was accommodating with our schedule and particular needs; he was a joy to work with. I would use them again and recommend them highly!"

"These guys are absolutely fantastic! They had the dance floor filled and all of our guests loved them. The whole booking and pre event process was professional, smooth, well run but with a lovely personal feel. I honestly couldn’t be happier or more grateful to them and would use them again in a heartbeat."

"The booking process was easy and flawless, I particularly liked being able to ring and talk to the agent. Dermot and his friend are very talented and made the wedding. They played Irish ballads through the meal and then burst into Irish jigs after the first dance. Dermot was flexible and worked well with our DJ. I will love to book him again at some point."

"We had a wonderful time at our wedding with Chris and the Rejigged band. The musicians and caller were very skilled and catered for a range of tastes and abilities. Throughout the run up to the wedding, they were extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful, making the planning process much easier. Thank you to all involved. Kind regards, Helen (Wedding reception, Egerton Village Hall 14th Sept. 2019) "
