Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"We communicated with Jamie prior to the event to iron out all the necessary details. This made the day run smoothly & stress free. Jamie’s performance was outstanding. A perfect laid back vibe with great audience participation which only added to the atmosphere. We received a number of compliments over our choice of entertainment. Jamie’s voice is superb, we loved the authenticity in his voice. The set list played was extremely fitting to our wedding day. Do not hesitate to book Jamie. You will not regret it!"

"Huge thank you back to all the Annasach band, you were absolutely brilliant and helped make the night truly fantastic. The Ceilidh calling was superb too, especially with such a motley bunch of amateurs to wrangle! Dot and I couldn't have asked for more beautiful, fun music and have already put the Vows nomination in! Keeping my fingers crossed we get a perfect excuse to book the band again! Many, many thanks again to everyone."

"We booked Jamie for our wedding, for both a couple of live sets & his DJ service. He really did not disappoint & was amazing on the night.. His vocal performances are great & his voice so unique that he makes any song his own! He did every song we asked for off his repertoire & even chucked in a few more, which all went down a treat with our guests.. and again with the DJ service.. he played all the songs we asked for & created a unique vibe for the evening personalised just for us! If we were ever to have a party or another event I would look to hire Jamie again 100%, not only is he amazing at his job, but he is such a great, friendly guy.. who helped make our special day that bit more! :-)"

"My wife and I booked Rebecca as our harpist to play at our Ruby Wedding Anniversary Celebration at the Marriott Hotel Swansea We found Rebecca utterly charming and as we left the choice of music up to her we were delighted with what she played for us, including a very special request for which she had to get the music for. Rebecca was professional in every way and is an accomplished musician and we felt very proud to have booked her for our celebration. We would not hesitate to recommend her for anyone looking to book a harpist. Ian & Fran "

"Jock Rock were simply brilliant. Their music repertoire was right up my street and they learned our chosen first dance for us which was great. They played a great mix of ceilidh and rock / pop music which was just the right mix for the crowd - some bands don't have enough of a ceilidh repertoire, no problems with Jock Rock though.. They are lovely folk and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a great band."

"Rebecca helped to make our day very special. She was very professional, didn't need any involvement from us on the day (which was really good). She played exactly what we had selected to the highest standard, and added to the whole ambience of the day. We would not hesitate to recommend her and our guests were all as impressed as we were. A truly beautiful addition to a really lovely day."

"Rastrum played for our Burns Night at the University of York last week and it was one of the most successful student events we've had in months! It was the perfect setting for students to relax and have fun with old and new friends. The atmosphere was just buzzing and we've already had requests from students asking to do this again. The band were flexible with our venue change and were generous with the dances. The caller was very clear and warm which made the evening incredibly inclusive, especially as over 100 of our students had no idea what a ceilidh was at the start of the evening! So by popular demand I think we'll be getting a ceilidh booked in again very soon. And last but not least, the band play together perfectly and the tunes they chose were brilliant. "

"Dear Tad. I wanted to thank you all for a wonderful evening’s entertainment on Friday. Sadly we finished the meal late but given our lack of ability maybe we had tried the patience of the Caller sufficiently! It was one of the highlights of the evening and I’ve had so many comments on what fun it was and how pleasant you all were. It was superb. Many thanks. Caitriona"

"The Black Velvet Band provided us with a fantastic ceilidh for our wedding reception. They really got everyone up and moving, so much better than a boring DJ set. They were even accommodating to our more inebriated guests and explained the dance moves clearly. We had a wonderful time and would consider them again for future parties."

"Hi Davie, A massive thank you to The Shooglers for playing at our wedding. We were impressed with how you managed to herd 100 clueless folk around the dancefloor and we've definitely converted some to loving a good ceilidh. We're happy to send testimonials if needed. Such an amazing night deserves praise!"
