"The Blaggers were absolutely brilliant and exactly what we were after. This was a big corporate party for a young audience and they were fun and a modern take on a ceilidh band. I highly recommend them for any event as they would be great regardless of audience."

"An excellent bash – the band were fantastic! Everyone got up and danced. The caller did a great job. If we have another Birthday Bash, we will definitely be booking the band again. I have no hesitation recommending them."

"We wouldn`t change a single minute of our wedding day. Whilst its difficult to pick out a highlight, you guys did an absolutely sensational job in the evening. Everyone has been raving about how good you were. We were so impressed. You did everything we asked for, and did it perfectly. You were the ultimate professionals. Not only did you fill the dance floor but you filled the whole room right up to the bar for the whole night! We really can`t thank you enough and hope you guys also enjoyed playing at our wedding."

"The booking process was easy and flawless, I particularly liked being able to ring and talk to the agent. Dermot and his friend are very talented and made the wedding. They played Irish ballads through the meal and then burst into Irish jigs after the first dance. Dermot was flexible and worked well with our DJ. I will love to book him again at some point."

"Kip and his crew were excellent from the word go. We incorporated our first dance into the ceilidh and added bridal party and parents. This was excellent, Kip talked us through it as a group and away we went. Our special moment was great fun for us and all of our guests. They did a great job of involving everybody old and young and all our guests said they had a great time. It was good fun and a great laugh. We would highly recommend them to anybody. "

"The Storm Band exceeded our expectations. They were absolutely fantastic! All my guests were up dancing & thoroughly enjoyed the Band. Colin was exceptional in meeting our needs when we had a little hiccup a week before the Wedding. Thank you so much to The Storm Band for bring entertainment & magic to our wonderful Wedding. Xxx"

"I have booked Danny several times, he is an excellent guitarist and an exceptionally good vocalist as well as being a really good songsmith. He is always received really well by the audience at The Back Room, they are used to seeing top grade entertainment from acts from all over the U.S.A. and Canada. Danny is comfortable in the very best company. Anyone thinking about booking Danny should not hesitate at all. I don't."

"Hi Alex, We can’t thank you enough for such an excellent evening last Saturday. The music and leading is tremendous and everyone really enjoyed themselves so much. You are firmly in our address book and talk of a future event in the field is already underway. I would also highly recommend you to everyone. How far do you travel for a gig? Wishing much luck for the future and hope to be enjoying your music again soon. July 2026"

"Dear Kellys Heroes, Thank you very much for playing the ceilidh at our wedding. We and our guests had an absolutely fantastic time. We have had so many positive comments from both first time ceilidhiers and more hardened veterans about the band and the calling. We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as us!"

"Big Skies played at our annual golf trip to Ullesthorpe. Everyone present were very impressed with their performance. They began with more laid back , country songs whilst the guests were finishing off food etc. Fantastic musicianship, talented guitar playing and exceptional harmonies. I had chosen one or two songs which were a little less known by most people present , namely “Battle of Evermore”, and Dylan’s “Oh Sister”, and their renditions were captivating. Later in the evening the tempo was raised and it was great to see so many on the dance floor. Overall, a fantastic evening had by all thanks to Big Skies! I would strongly recommend them if you were thinking of hiring an acoustic band for a special event. "

"Swing Mode Vintage absolutely made our day: they were absolutely the perfect evening entertainment for our wedding! The music was really really cool, they had people up and dancing and just really brought a great atmosphere with them. It was fantastic. The band were all really kind and well organised; there was zero stress & zero faff. They got everything set up in good time including background music between the two sets. They took a special request for our first dance and it was really really wonderful. Overall we were just thrilled with the music: it was really really cool stuff - modern and funky, but most important just great fun!"

"I hired the The Mighty Craic to sing at my post wedding party in a pub. Although id booked them to play early, they had the whole pub dancing at three in the afternoon. They were great Craic, my wife and I couldn’t have been more pleased. The music was great, and they judged the songs to the audience perfectly to keep everyone dancing. Would defiantly recommend them and use them again for the next family event or party."

"Dear Tom, A wee e-mail to thank you and the band very much indeed for helping to make my retirement do such a success. You gauged the mood of the evening and the company perfectly and have had lots of positive feedback. I hope you had a good trip back to Glasgow and perhaps you could drop an e-mail next time you are playing In the city. We'd very much like to hear the band again - and to sit back and relax while doing so, now that I'm officially a retiree! - and would tie it in with a visit to my son. Thanks again and all the best, John"
