"Thank you Chris, and please do thank your accomplished colleagues for their brilliant playing. I’ll see Clare tonight and I can thank her again. You pitched the dances and music just right. Everyone enjoyed it. I’ve danced the eightsome reel many times but sadly haven’t yet attained any level of proficiency! Thank you too for your card – it’s much appreciated. Very best wishes Paul (and Lindsey) "

"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"

"Just to tell you that your performance on Saturday night was brilliant probably the best part of the 2 days my husband and I spent at the Festival. Your 'band' is very talented and we thoroughly enjoyed your music. Well done. "

"Heard 'The Shooglers' play at a fantastic wedding I was photographing, well I was so desperate to join in the dancing - truly fantastic music ;-) I love the one you did with the mix of Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall - was amazing, tapping my foot and itching to dance - best music at a wedding I’ve ever heard !!!!"

"Hi Rebecca, Thank you and to Carla for making my daughter's Wedding day so special on Saturday you did not match our expectations you beat them outright. We would have no hesitation in finding a reason to book you again. "

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at my 21st last weekend. You guys were absolutely incredible. I have had so many of my guests telling me it was the best ceilidh they've ever been to! You made the night what it was so I can't thank you enough! "

"We were delighted with the ceilidh band; they were lovely, professional and sounded brilliant! I was really impressed how they matched the energy of the guests really well, making sure to give little breaks or easier dances when energy was flagging and also played some lovely high energy numbers to get the dancing started! The venue was also really complimentary at how quick and professional they were at setting up and putting away at the end with no bother. Lastly, they pitched the level perfectly with some more difficult pieces and some easier ones that really suited our mostly beginner crowd. Their calling was fun and upbeat and they were polite and professional to a fault.

"My family have been following this band for over 20 years now. From the toe tapping faster tunes to the haunting ballads, I cannot rate this band highly enough. Everyone in the audience appears to be having a fantastic night with many people dancing. The band are very professional and friendly and seem to attract an audience that follows them all over the country year after year. Recently, they very kindly played for my mother in her own home ,when she was terminally ill. It proved a very memorable and moving day for her friends and family. I will always be grateful to them for this. My rating for this band is 100 out of 10!!!"

"Wow what a night of fantastic entertainment!! It is safe to say that Lilac made our event with customers raving at how good the music was and the energy she bought to our event was through the roof. Lilac is a must if you’re looking for a talented and exceptional musician. A definite re-hire for us."

"Unbelievably big thanks to what you put on for us! It delivered on all fronts!! The sax to start things off was absolutely incredible - exactly the vibe we were after. Then Remko was a hero in sorting the music to walk in on and the music during the breakfast! But the band, boy oh boy did they steal the show - I lost track of the number of comments from our guests on how good you guys were! The bits where you came out into the crowd and got stuck in were epic. We knew you’d be good but you surpassed all expectations!! We can’t thank you enough and will recommend to all our friends! "

"Hello! You played at our wedding at the Ghillie Dhu on 6th October. Just wanted to thank you so much for the amazing music which created such a buzz and atmosphere that I'll never forget!! You were absolutely fantastic and the talk of the day. All of our guests including the ones who admitted that they "hate a ceilidh", all said you were absolutely amazing and by far the best ceilidh band they had ever heard. Massive thanks again to you all!!! Xx "
