"They were lovely people and everyone there enjoyed their music. It was a Country Fair and due to their efforts we had people dancing on the grass with straw bales around to sit on. Happy people! Job well done. Thank you. We would certainly book them again for another event."

"A wonderful band. The caller was great and made everyone feel very comfortable. A wonderful evening for the whole family and friends ranging from 3 year olds to 80 year olds. Everyone could join in. Turned up on time and very polite nice lads. Would highly recommend."

"Thanks you so much The Shooglers for playing at our wedding in April. I booked you after receiving a recommendation from the bass player of my own band. He was at a function you guys were playing at last year and he raved about you so much i was really glad you were able to play for us. There were guests from Canada, Dublin and New Zealand at our wedding and they were all joining in and everyone had a superb night. I especially enjoyed how you blended in rock and pop tunes with some of the Ceilidh dances. I will definitely recommend you guys to anyone I can and if I organize another bash in the future i'll be looking The Shoogle up! Thanks so much on behalf of my new wife Wendy and myself."

"The Shooglers were real stars at our wedding in Lochgoilhead in October. They performed a perfect mix of ceilidh and rock covers, sometimes in the same dance! It really had everyone up on the dance floor for most of the evening. Afterwards, everyone wanted to know where we'd got them from including the venue coordinator who sees bands every week. Most of all, they have a great sense of humour - they realise it's all about everyone having a great time. Thanks again guys, you were awesome. "

"We hired this band for my mum's 60th birthday hoedown, and they were absolutely outstanding! From the moment they started, they set the perfect vibe for the party. Their use of various instruments added a fantastic depth to the performance, and they kept everyone on their feet with line dancing that was so much fun. The entertainment package they provided went beyond our expectations, with a perfect mix of lively tunes and great energy. They truly made the party unforgettable. Highly recommend them for any event – they know how to get the crowd going and ensure everyone has a blast!"

"Just wanted to write to say sincere thanks to you, Gerry and Mike for making our Burns Night so special last night. You created a fantastic and fun atmosphere with your talented playing, vocals and humour while your efforts to organise our dances were much appreciated and enthusiastically received by all. Numerous members of our gathering mentioned to me how much they enjoyed the band. That was also backed up by how ready people were to get up to take part in the dances. You all made the night great fun and memorable and I look forward to seeing you all again at any function in the future including our next Burns Night Supper. Best wishes for all your future events."

"We had the pleasure of having Danny play at our intimate Ceremony and Wedding Reception this August and we can’t recommend him highly enough. Danny is very accommodating and was wonderful to work with from the start. We were after instrumental improvisation so Danny recorded and sent over some extra samples for us before we even made our booking. We also had a special request for the processional that couldn’t have been easy to transcribe - Danny arranged a version that involved playing both a harp accompaniment and vocal melody on the guitar - and it worked beautifully! Even if you have something a little bit different in mind for your event or wedding then you would be in safe hands with Danny - he is a wonderfully talented and clearly very skilled guitarist. We have had so many of our guests approach us to ask about him since, including those who now want to book him for their upcoming weddings! Danny is also incredibly charming and a really lovely presence to have around - we had a very small, intimate ceremony and his easygoing and friendly nature meant he blended right in. All in all, Danny exceeded our already high expectations. He was a major part of what made the atmosphere of our Ceremony exactly what we had wanted. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone. Thank you Danny :) "

"A great act with strong chemistry and superb vocals and harmonies. They have a great catalogue of popular covers and the odd original covering a range of genres and are guaranteed to get the crowd going. I have worked with them on numerous occasions. They’re lovely people and great to work with. I highly recommend it."

"Dear Charlotte, Thank you so much for Saturday night. We had a fantastic evening - I’ve had so many texts and emails over the lats 2 days telling me how much people enjoyed it and how good the instruction from you and music was - we had so many musicians in the small hall, of a very high standard. Excellent. So, thank you so much for helping to make the evening fun, friendly, unique and memorable - and the fabulous musicianship, please pass this on to the band. Warm wishes, Anna"

"Absolutely brilliant. This guy should and most likely will be a successful recording artist. Superb guitar skills, a chocolatey timbre to his voice that makes his singing something very special. My parents who are very hard to please were singing along and will remember this day as one of those special family moments. Danny is so good with people and obviously loves what he does. Consummate professional. Book this artist for a day you won't forget. Well done and thank you. Ian and family."
