"You have to hire Open Freeway they are absolutely amazing! We hired them for our wedding and it was the best decision we made. Jake communicated with us the whole way through the process, he was ever so friendly, accommodating, easygoing and very knowledgeable. The band were all lovely and fitted in with our guests effortlessly. The music and singing were fantastic, they all had real stage presence and the energy was electric! Guests have not stopped raving about them ever since! They even learnt our first dance song and performed it so beautifully, we were so moved to hear our song played live just for us and done so so well. Open Freeway are fun, extremely talented and professional and they made our evening more wonderful than we imagined. Can't thank them enough for the energy and skill they brought. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Exceptional! Thank you from us and all our guests for an outstanding performance."

"Souls played at our wedding at the end of June and were just amazing! They got everyone on the dance floor and orchestrated the funniest dance off I have ever seen! Katy was so responsive and accommodating throughout the wedding planning process, just one less thing to worry about! Souls learned our first dance that we requested at very short notice and it was perfect! Several of our wedding guests have now recommended Souls to their friends and we wouldn't hesitate to do the same! Thank you all! "

"Dermot added something truly special to a difficult day, being my mother-in-law's funeral, but a combination of his professionalism, artistry and sensitivity made a deep impression on everyone there. On top of that, the speed with which Sarah-Jane arranged things with Dermot at very short notice helped enormously in smoothing the arrangements for the whole day. Thank you!"

"Hi Gordon, Just a quick note to say thank you again to you and the bands for the hard work at our wedding at Shortflatt Tower, I hope that we did not cause you too much stress with the slightly delayed schedule and the last-minute RSVP song-lists! The bands, both the ceilidh and the party band, sounded great and had people dancing which is all that we wanted. I am sure you will be back at Shortflatt Tower again at some point soon and hope you and the band continue to entertain regularly, we will certainly recommend you to anyone asking! Thank you again!

"We were fortunate to hear Soul Of The Party at a wedding in Newcastle upon Tyne last weekend. Everyone seemed to love listening to them - dancing was limited due to Covid restrictions. The new singer was good too."

"We're just back from our honeymoon and wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and the band for playing at our wedding. It was an absolute joy to hear you play and thoroughly enjoyed your set. It was a pleasure to have you all there and we're delighted that we chose Scotch Snap Ceilidh Band to to help us celebrate our special day."

"We chose Starbound to perform at our wedding because of their wide-ranging repertoire and we were not disappointed. The band were amazing. They arrived on time and set up without any problems and no-one knew that they were setting up on the stage. From beginning to end there were people on the dancefloor. Lots of the guests were asking where we found the Starbound and commented on how great they were. Cant thank you guys enough, such a great performance and a great time had by all. You Can Call Me Al was the biggest crowd-pleaser! "

"Gary played at a drinks reception for my 60th birthday and he was very impressive. Infact the whole process of selecting and booking him was clear, simple and user friendly. At the event he was professional and the guests enjoyed his perfromance which set exactly the right tone I was aiming for to kick off the party. I would be more than happy to use him again and to recommend him to a friend."

"Chris and Kim of The Sunset Duo brought some incredible music and energy to our pub’s community night! Playing music from across the decades and a little something for everyone, there wasn’t a single person in attendance who didn’t enjoy both sets. In fact, when they took a break, I had several people asking me when they were going to start playing again! There wasn’t much room for dancing, as the pub was very full, but it was clear from the bouncing heads and swaying bodies, that people felt compelled to. The duo effortlessly connected with their audience and kept the energy up throughout the evening. I’m looking forward to having them perform in the pub again soon, as I know they will deliver the same level of fun and professionalism to each performance.

"As 1st time attendees, we had a super fun time! The caller gave clear instructions and several of the club members (gentlemen in kilts) provided hands on guidance. Music was great!!! Thanks for a memorable evening. "
