"I would just like to thank you for the wonderful performance on Sat night at my Daughter’s naming ceremony. We all had a great time, and everybody commented on how great the band was. I never laughed or enjoyed a dance so much and would like to have another party, just to have you play again. Please pass on our thanks to everybody, and we have already passed your details on to other people who are interested."

"This is just a letter to thank you again for the wonderful input your band had to my mother’s 80th birthday party in July. All our relatives and friends are still talking about the party and the fantastic music you provided. It was so good to have a mixture of ceilidh and other styles, the band was certainly very versatile. We will certainly be in touch, next time, we want to hire music for any other events we plan."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – David and Catherine’s Wedding – September 2025 Thank you for making our wedding day so special! The music was brilliant and I am so grateful that The Archers theme and 500 Miles were worked into the set. Two days later, my legs still ache from dancing."

"You guys were great! Good mixture of ridiculous, irreverance and damn well played music (I include the chicken). Liked the Police and Ambulance siren sounds cut into the music too. Cheers for making us laugh and smile."

"Just a quick, and rather late, note to say a very Big Thank You to you and the team for the wonderful Saturday evening that you provided. We had an absolutely amazing time, and lots of the guests have said that they did too. We were really delighted to see so many people dancing, I don't think that anyone was able to restrain themselves. It was just a pity that the whole evening had to come to an end."

"A very big thank you for the wonderful ceilidh on Saturday for our Harvest Celebration. It was great evening with just the right balance between the dancing and resting. We loved your music and the dancing. The Caller was very good at getting everyone up and dancing together. I had a lot of positive comments after the event. "

"I would highly recommend It's No' Reel Ceilidh Band to anyone who wants to have a first class ceilidh experience! I use them evey year for our French exchange ceilidh and everyone loves their music; children, teenagers and parents alike! They explain the dances clearly so even our French visitors can take part and they play with such enthusiasm that the dance floor is never empty. They are reliable, professional and full of fun, so our ceilidh is always the highlight of our exchange week. Thank you guys - you do a fantastic job!"

"As a passionate fan of Irish folk music, my daughters arranged for Paul Brennan band to come and play at my 60th birthday party as a surprise. They didn't dissapont , with a brilliant selection of Irish music and songs it was lovely evening. Paul's mastering of the Ulian pipes has to be seen to be believed. They were very friendly and played everything we asked for. I would definitely book them again."

"A massive thank you to you and the guys for such a wonderful evening at our wedding in France! You made the evening a night to remember for everyone and all of our guests were raving about you. Even our French neighbours, who had come up for a glass of wine and a 'mosey about', were highly entertained. We greatly appreciate the distance you travelled and the long night you had on Saturday but the wedding wouldn't have been the same without you. Having every dance danced to by guests, many of who had never ceilidhed before was better than we expected, especially with the heat! You were a pleasure to deal with in the months before and on the day, nothing seemed like it was too much trouble. We would be happy to recommend you to anyone considering a ceilidh band as you were without doubt the best, most entertaining and fun band we have come across."
