Review Centre: Barn Dance Bands

"Thank you on behalf of the Parish Council for providing such a wonderful display of musicianship and fantastic choice of dances for our Late Summer Shindig. I was slightly nervous as we hadn’t done anything like this before but from the moment I heard the first strains of the fiddle I knew it would be fine. Who would be able to resist getting up to dance? Thank you too for sage advice as to the format and for being very much a part of the proceedings – it helped to know we were in good hands. The feedback was very encouraging and even those who were resolutely shy about dancing succumbed in the end. All down to the magic of the music. Thank you again!"

"We had seen this band before booking them for our wedding, so we had the highest expectations of them and somehow they still managed to surpass them! An absolutely perfect choice for our special day. Do not underestimate the impact of a good ceilidh band for a wedding or other party function as it breaks the ice amongst all the guests and never fails to get everyone up dancing, whether sober or not-so-sober! We only married yesterday and already have guests messaging us requesting The Blue Jewel's details!"

"Blue Jewel played for my son's wedding on Saturday. They were amazing! Virtually the entire guest list of 110 people danced the entire night, having a fantastic time. The feedback was just... wow! I would thoroughly recommend them... and lovely guys too."

"I hired Piping Hot for my wedding, my partner is Irish, and we brought them in as a surprise to finish up the night."

"Kip and the band were fantastic. We had a big Irish wedding with my family who had all come over for the occasion and the band did not disappoint. I requested an extra instrument and we just wanted session music and they delivered in style. I would highly recommend for a fantastic authentic Irish band to keep people up on the dance floor. Thanks so much "

"What an amazing band! I’ve heard bands which are great at the Scottish ceilidh stuff but not very good at any other styles. I’ve heard bands which are great at pop/rock/country/indie covers but couldn’t play a ceilidh dance to save their lives. You guys are amazing! You can play all the Scottish ceilidh stuff AND make it rocky AND play all these other styles from pop to rock to country to whatever! Amazing! "

"The new fox band was utterly brilliant! I have been to a few weddings with ceilidhs, and I can happily say that thanks to the new fox band, ours was the best! At the start of the night a few guests were unsure about it, or felt embarrassed or awkward, but thanks you the warm and gentle encouragement, and the clear and easy to follow calling by the band, after their first swing, most people were hooked, and by the end of the night everyone was talking about how much fun they had. To top it all off, they sound bloomin marvelous too! Thanks new fox band, for making it a night to remember ?"

"Recently hired Lilac and Barn with Us for our country themed wedding - they were amazing. Lilac’s attention to detail in compiling the set list and incorporating some of our chosen songs was great and she communicated with us throughout the whole process. On the night they set themselves up without disturbing us and the set, lights and sound were good quality. They were very helpful in playing our own playlists in between. Lilac’s voice is fantastic and many guests commented on how good she was. The line dancing was great fun and had all our guests up and joining in. They helped make our wedding a day to remember "

"We are so grateful to Black Velvet Ceilidh Trio for making our fundraising ceilidh a great success with delightful music and dancing. The level of challenge of the dances was pitched just right to tempt our guests (who were aged from 4 to 84) to have a go – and they all came away with big smiles on their faces! Phil – the band’s friendly caller – gave just the right amount of instruction and then a quick recap before each dance and was happy to adapt dances to suit some of the children. Arrangements and payment were all handled professionally and efficiently. Thank you so much for helping us raise over £300 for our cause!"

"We had Kip and the Blue Diamond ceilidh band play at our fund raiser for the MNDA. We received so many comments stating what a fantastic band they were and a very fun evening was had by all. We will definitely be repeating next year. Would highly recommend this band."

"We wanted a wedding dance where everyone got involved and socialising. Thanks so much, you were great and exactly what we were hoping for!"

"Just to say thank you to the band and Steve (caller) for your support. Everyone enjoyed themselves and Steve certainly had no problems keeping the floor full. Well done to you all and many thanks once again."

"Attended the Sewerby Food Festival this weekend. Great festival with cookery demos from Wolds Cookery School, but the event was really enhanced by the Shamrock Experience - really talented band which kept the visitors entertained and generated a great atmosphere "

"Dear Davie, I hope this email finds you well! On behalf of the EUHKIS committee, I'd like to thank you and The Shooglers so much for playing for us for our Asian Ball, and for your patience throughout the planning process. Everyone had a great time and the band got glowing reviews - we really appreciate your involvement in making our event as great as it was, and we hope you enjoyed the evening as well! Thank you very much again, and we will most certainly be in touch should we need a ceilidh band for future events!"
