"The Roundabout Swing Band were absolutely fantastic at our wedding. They were fun, lively, talented, and really got the party started. We loved them, and so did our guests! I wouldn't hesitate in booking them again. They were super lovely to deal with too."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Judy and Jenny’s 80th Birthday Ceilidh – February 2026 We hired Black Velvet Band to play for our joint 80th birthday celebration at our local golf club. We had a big range of age groups present, and the band and the caller seemed to hit the right spot to get the whole party going! Everyone present thoroughly enjoyed the evening."

"The guys were great, everyone had a superb time. We’ll have them back next year as people want the event to be an annual thing. Two people asked me to pass your contact details on as well as they’d like to book them for separate events. "

"My legs are still aching because I danced so much! The band arrived on time and were very friendly and helpful and the music was delightful. It was a mixed crowd, many of whom had never met each other before but with one thing in common – they had never done ceilidh dancing before! The caller was absolutely brilliant – it didn’t matter that most people had no idea how to dance the reels! Everyone joined in and thoroughly enjoyed themselves."

"I booked Black Velvet Ceilidh Trio for my wife’s 50th Birthday barn dance. The booking process and communication was great. On the night, from the off, everyone was up dancing. The instructions were great and they really got us all into the spirit. Lots of comments from our friends about how good they were. Thanks to all for an amazing night of music and dance. Would definitely recommend. "

"I would like to say a big thank you to for your beautiful voice and to Clare and Bruno for the wonderful instrumental accompaniment at Ann’s (Annie) birthday celebration on Sunday. Everyone loved the music and “song list” and we will be talking about it for a long time to come. "

"A big thank you to Mike and the other two band members of the BVB Klezmer band for a fabulous night. This was on the occasion of our Ruby Wedding Anniversary held at Birmingham Progressive Synagogue on Saturday, 16th July 2016. Everybody was very impressed with the quality of the music and you helped to make a memorable evening even more memorable. We would have no hesitation in recommending you."

"We absolutely loved having Black Velvet Band play our wedding ceilidh at Clearwell Castle. My husband is from Scotland so we wanted a traditional Scottish ceilidh feel with some of the classics, and we were not disappointed! We had a good feeling about Black Velvet band from the moment we booked them - and sure enough, Mike and the guys were absolutely fantastic and made our evening party a huge success. The band were great and the instructions on the ceilidh dances were so helpful; even those of our party who may not have normally danced were up there loving life on the dancefloor. The fun and friendly atmosphere they created was just fab and so different from your ‘usual’ evening do. All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the ceilidh and some said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We would 100% book the band again and recommend them to friends. Thank you for contributing to the best day of both our lives. Love from Hannah and Deryk x"

"The band was great and they tailored the music to suit our group and encouraged people to join in. Lovely manner and professional. Very experienced caller and musicians. Enthusiastic comments and praise from all our guests. Several potential enquiries regarding bookings will hopefully follow. We couldn't have wished for a better way to celebrate our special anniversary. Every thanks to the Black Velvet Ceilidh Band. "
