"The band set up according to the plan that had been agreed and once the music got underway, the dance floor was packed for the whole night. Some of our guests had never been to this type of evening before and all we had back was extremely positive comments about the band and of the whole evening, which was to celebrate our daughter’s 30th Birthday. The band was an integral part of the night and made the night go with a swing. Well worth the 5*****"

"This is the second year running we have used the Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band for our St Patrick''s party, and they were a huge hit again. We had our biggest turnout for an event, making it a very successful fundraiser. A big part of this was people wanting to join in with the Ceilidh fun again, having experienced the band last year. The music and calling were excellent, and the dances were great fun. It was great to try some new dances too. Our guests were already talking about next year as they left!"

"Thank you so much to Ceilidh With Us for all the band did for our wedding, we absolutely loved the ceilidh - it was so much fun and we are 100% satisfied! 😃 The caller was fantastic and explained everything very clearly. The music was really fun and it was helpful when songs got gradually faster; the speed was perfect. The band also managed the number of people well, as there were a lot of people for the space. The communication with the band has been absolutely fantastic as well in terms of meetings, arranging things behind the scenes, and coordinating with the venue. We ended up leaving a bit early simply because we were absolutely exhausted by that point, and the band were wonderful and accommodating in terms of changing the order of songs, so thank you for that - it was a shame we couldn’t stay right until the end!"

"Hey guys, Thank you for playing at our wedding on Sunday in The Drumossie. It was a brilliant performance and made the evening really memorable for everyone. Still not sure how you got Another Brick in the Wall into a ceilidh dance but it worked and it was impressive! Couldn’t have been better. Thanks so much! "

"Just a note to thank you and the band so much for your contribution to the success of Saturday night’s Barn Dance. The music was fantastic, and I felt the calling gave us just the right amount of detail without holding back those who were itching to get on with the dancing. Loads of people said to me just how much they’d enjoyed the music. I do hope they passed their appreciation on to you too. And I hope that you were pleased by the enthusiasm with which people threw themselves into dancing. So, many thanks once again. "

"Methlick Community Jubilee Family Ceilidh What a night we had in June with the Iron Broo Ceilidh Band. From the minute they started until they stopped the dance floor was full of people dancing. It was great have a range of ages. The night went in a flash and we all had the best time. The band were excellent at explaining what to do for those never been to a ceilidh before and a good reminder for us that haven’t had our dancing shoes on for way to long. No photos as too busy dancing the night away"

"It is a pleasure to hear a klezmer band that knows their repertoire on both genre and geography and this band have put in the time to learn more than just the material. They know the form and function of the pieces, the geography of the origin and style of the repertoire and this is reflected in both their playing and their commentary."

"Having just recovered physically (although not financially) from the wedding, I thought it appropriate to send you a quick email to thank you for your support on Saturday evening. I felt it was a resounding success and everyone enjoyed the entertainment, which was excellent, Please pass on my thanks to the caller and all the musicians involved. I will certainly recommend your services."

"The Haystacks were wonderful at our wedding. They supplied a fantastic long set list to chose from and even learned a new song just for us. On the day they were professional, lovely and sounded brilliant. We couldn't be happier!"

Also Sue mentioned that you were all absolutely brilliant! – She overheard loads of compliments from our campers and the local residents whilst selling tombola tickets! Look forward to booking the Haystacks at our next event! Would highly recommend to others - I have nothing but good to say about The Haystacks!"
