"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio / 16/07/2021 / Cecilia and Johny’s Wedding Mike and the Black Velvet Band played at our wedding and put together a fantastic set. They had very thoughtfully come up with some more Covid secure dances to cater for people wishing to stay in their respective bubbles but managed to maintain the energy and enthusiasm throughout. The music was brilliant and the calling was the best that I’ve seen at a ceilidh (a difficult skill to perfect!). We did 6 or 7 dances and the band very considerately asked how we (my wife and I) would like to lead the dances to ensure plenty of people engaged but we had no concerns as everyone joined in. All of our guests were delighted and we can’t thank the band for stepping in at relatively short notice, we had a brilliant time."

"Thank you for a fabulous night and for making my daughter's 21st go with a bang. It was wonderful to see all the young people with a permanent grin on their faces. Trish was amazing at keeping them all in step! Many thanks."

"You guys were absolutely AMAZING!!! We could not have asked for a better evening; everyone had so much fun and did not want to stop dancing (in fact, the only complaint we had the next day was how much peoples' feet were hurting from all the dancing they had done)! We have heard nothing but praise about how good you were, and our guest have told us it was 'the best playlist I have ever heard', and we totally agree, so thank you!!! We will be highly recommending you to anyone and everyone we know, so hopefully we will see you again soon! Thank you again for making our evening reception perfect"

"Wow!!! What a band! What an atmosphere they created!! Debbie's voice is second to none, and Roger nails the sound of Britpop..... The band were booked for a joint 50th and 18th, so we definitely didn't want a wedding band doing 60's, 70's and 80's and these guys are as far away as you can get from the "wedding singer" vibe. Faithless, Underworld, D Ream, Candi Staton to Oasis, Pulp and Backstreet Boys. The dance floor was heaving, you literally couldn't get another body on it (there was 200 at the party), my 18 year old son and his friends were bouncing at the front along with friends in their 50's and 60's - everybody was back in the 20th century, Rocking the 90's!"

"We wanted tunes that meant a lot to our Mum. Dark Island, Highland Cradle Song, A Man's a Man and My Home. Hector played them all beautifully. He looked amazing and made our farewell really personal. Thank you so much Hector."

"Thanks for everything on the night mate, you and the band absolutely smashed it! Everybody had an amazing time and there were a few sore throats/hangovers in the morning. It was a bit of shame it had to end so early, as I think everybody was quite up for kicking on quite late, but it was an amazing day for the both of us topped of with an amazing party in the evening. Thanks again for everything, and I will not hesitate to recommend you to anybody wanting a quality band at any functions, I’ll hopefully see you all again at one in the future!"

"Jazz Chiefs played at our restaurant on NYE 2022 and they suited the venue perfectly - jazzy, slick and they sang all the best party anthems. The playlist they chose for in between sets really got the guests going and created an incredible atmosphere to see us into the new year. We will definitely be using them again for future events!"

"I booked a piper for a last minute Surprise wedding and was over the moon at the quick response. Gordon the piper was amazing and made the day extra special. Even passers by on the street stopped to listen to his wonderful piping and he was very accommodating for pictures and videos which have now gone round the world to family and friends. I must commend George on his response time as he immediately got back to my request and had arrangements in place within a day. I would heartily recommend Arkleston Pipers for their excellent service. You will not be disappointed!!! Absolutely First Class."
