"We just cannot say enough good things about these guys. We were so blown away by how good they were! Everything from our communications with Adam through to the music on the night and all our little requests in between were handled in such a professional manner. The guys were so truly lovely and patient both before and during our wedding. The dance floor was packed all night and although at some points the dancing got a little scary (read BAD), it was great to see everyone having such a good time. All of our guests keep telling us how good the band was and we couldn't agree more. Guys we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Best Day Ever!"

"We booked Hit Society for our 25th anniversary and they got it exactly right. Not too loud early on, then built it up into a proper party later. Really lovely guys as well."

"We booked Up The COuntry for our wedding as me and my wife are massive Luke Combs fans. Up The Country performed our first dance song just as good if not better than the original as well as played our favourite country songs! They were by far the highlight of our wedding evening! "

"Thursday night was a blast. Couldn’t have gone any better! On Thursday the 25th of January, the Exeter Caledonian Society hosted a Burns Night Ball accompanied by the Black Velvet Band. The band was brilliant. Their musical prowess, stamina and all round musicianship was a joy to work with - and to listen to - making the night ever better. I am so thankful for what they did. The band is easy to work with, knowledgeable about timings and can cater to any requirements. "

"The band was great and they tailored the music to suit our group and encouraged people to join in. Lovely manner and professional. Very experienced caller and musicians. Enthusiastic comments and praise from all our guests. Several potential enquiries regarding bookings will hopefully follow. We couldn't have wished for a better way to celebrate our special anniversary. Every thanks to the Black Velvet Ceilidh Band. "

"Ceòl Beag came and played for us at our graduation ball, and they were fantastic. The majority of the people in the room had never done any of the ceilidh dances before, but the band's instructions were really clear and easy to follow. Everyone had a really great time, and it was the perfect way to finish off studying in Scotland!"

"Jim was brilliant- he performed specific songs not from his set list that was special to my event. He was flexible with set up and my family friends were extremely complimentary! I was so excited to have him play for my husbands 50th and I was not disappointed! Would definitely use again. TY so much Jim "

"We want to thank It's No' Reel for a fabulous experience. They were professional from start to finish and their organisation is excellent. They were very open to be being flexible with the ceilidh and disco options. We even had a Skype call just to introduce each other and to explain what we wanted which is much better than email. The ceilidh was brilliant and as we had friends and family from different countries, the calling was clear and easy to understand. Everyone had so much fun, it was the perfect end to the day. Afterwards we received a video montage of the ceilidh which we have shared with our friends and family, a lovely added extra which we were not expecting. If you are looking for a ceilidh band, I would DEFINITELY recommend It's No' Reel, if you have half as much fun as we did you will not be disappointed!"

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio / Claire’s 60th Birthday / May 2025 Black Velvet Trio were absolutely perfect for the barn dance we hosted. The trio were cool, calm and professional in their ability to literally herd cats! They were able to bring a huge smile to every face which was always my wish. The musicians were brilliant at just playing wonderful barn dance music whilst we laughed and bumped and crashed about with our two and sometimes three left feet.Our last (came too quick) dance was the Swiss Roll. We all loved it and would be so happy to have Black Velvet Trio back to do it all again."
