Review Centre: Barn Dance Bands

"Wow! These guys were amazing! They were really clear and easy to communicate with in the build-up to our event (wedding) and we're always looking for ways to make the day brilliant. The band and the caller on the day surpassed even our best hopes and we knew before they had even performed we had made the right choice. They were relaxed, friendly, adaptable and professional. Most importantly, they were brilliant at getting people dancing! Could not recommend them enough - I'm tempted to throw another event just to use them once more!"

"The three chaps that make up this band were fantastic on the night, I've had nothing but compliments from the many people in attendance. The music they played was perfect, my 80 year old Irish father who's party it was hasn't stopped smiling since Saturday night. They actually learnt a song which is one of his favourites for the night. And it went down very well. I would recommend the lads to my friends and family events in the future for sure. Many thanks.

"Davie, I just wanted to contact you to say, ‘thank you VERY much, indeed’ to you and your band members for performing last Friday evening at the annual Grange Dyvours Tennis Club ‘Snow Ball’ and making it the tremendous success that it was. I have been to many weddings, ceilidhs and parties over the years and danced to many bands and I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that ‘The Big Shoogle’ stands head and shoulders above the rest. Who would have thought that weaving in Pink Floyd and Deep Purple tracks in the middle of a Dashing White Sergeant would have worked but it did! You were an absolute pleasure to deal with, before our event; you all drove a considerable distance to arrive, at exactly the time requested, to set up all your equipment then, after our dinner, you returned to put on the most amazing performance. Some of our (non-Scottish) members had never danced some of the dances before but you made sure to talk everyone through what was expected, as a warm up, before the mayhem began. My face was sore laughing, at the end of some of those dances. Just brilliant. Our ‘Snow Ball’ on Friday evening was an astounding success and we have you to thank for that. Absolutely first class. P.s. Also, thanks for taking our booking for our ball, next Christmas. I wanted to get in quick to secure you as I know how much in demand you are! "

"It’s been a while now but just a short note to thank you & the guys for playing a great set at our wedding. If there was one negative, it’s that I never asked you guys to play all night. Anyway, hope you are well & in the unlikely event that I ever get married again, I know which band to go for. "

"A huge THANK YOU for making my husband's 80th party and event to remember - everyone really enjoyed themselves and thought you amazing, All trying to think of how they can have an 'event' to be able to book you. My young granddaughter and her friends haven't stopped talking about you either. Shamrock Experience? Super-Happy Experience!!!!!"

"We had such good feedback about your performance! Everyone that came had a great time and that's definitely down to the superb music and also the very well-explained and inclusive calling. I honestly would not have believed that the majority of people dancing were new to ceilidh dancing from watching them, they all took to it really fast. We'd love it if you'd like to play again as the band was definitely the key to the success of the night."

"We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and all the band, and of course your caller. We absolutely loved hearing you all play again and it was wonderful seeing all of our friends and family enjoying the dancing and music. It is something we will never forget.  We’re sorry that we weren’t running to time on the day, but thank you for being so understanding and I hope you all managed to enjoy some cake and cheese whilst you were waiting to set up.  We will be keeping an eye out for any future dates in your diary and coming along to another ceilidh, think we’ve got the bug! Please pass on our thanks to band, you all helped to make the day very special.  Warmest regards,  Teri and Matt "

"Blue Jewel played at our daughters wedding this past weekend. They were great fun and had all our guests up dancing at one point! The calling was clear, the guys were prompt and friendly. Highly recommended! "

"Amazing night with joyous music from the band from start to finish. Very accommodating for our age span of 8 years to 80 years! Plenty of caller participation to get us all going in fun dances which everyone said made them ache the next day! I heartily recommend them. Very friendly too! "

"The band on the night were excellent and catered to all our last minute adjustments. The caller was supurb at knowing when people needed more instruction and when they were just best left to their own devices!"
